Paul is conceeding to some degree that primitive society destroys its weak and aged, no matter its intellect. That is why the Christian culture fights against this barbaric practise.

Mhaze the link you gave accurately expresses how I see the unchanged 60,000-year of aboriginal culture. I can see where those that support infantercide and euthenasia can align with ancient cultures using modern practises. Where big pharmacy companies are using healthy foetus to develop vaccines - so in a sense we are cannibalising human tissue to make us stronger against death. So, from the view of Christ's teachings are we just as primitive?

Aboriginal babies were killed if their mothers had too much to carry - women carried everything on walkabout - or if times were lean. Some of the babies would be eaten. In more recent times, babies and children were handed over to authorities if they weren't wanted, or couldn't be looked after. Then, some bright spark decided that they had been "stolen".

Paul,

You'll note that I didn't comment on the infanticide or euthanasia mentioned in the link. I agree this was standard operation procedure for all primitive peoples.

I was simply pointing out the ethics of SR in trying to hide said issues while attacking Josephus.

While infanticide or euthanasia were practiced by most (maybe all) primitive peoples, the massive misogyny and abuse perpetrated against aboriginal women was, if not unique, certainly unusual. Many primitive cultures treated their women as equals and revered. (http://archaeofeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Venus2.jpeg)

That misogyny was carried by this 'culture' into the modern world and is enabled by people who hurry to defend and excuse it. (no names mind you but I'm sure even you can work out to whom I refer)

During the Irish famine thousands of unwanted babies were abandoned to freeze to death. Modern god fearing Christian society.

Paul
Reference, please.

Dear Paul,

Talking about Ireland's abandoned babies?

Here's more on that:

Very sad.
