“If you had been brought up and lived in Pompeii at the time, you would have understood it in a much deeper way than your ‘new religion’ has taught you to understand it now.”
That’s a leftist, godless philosophy. So you then would think the bloody Aztec culture was a acceptable thing as well?
Good grief. I’m saying that you have to try and understand ancient cultures in context, to understand them at all.
There are things in the Old Testament and even the New that we find strange and even barbaric today; and yet we think those cultures produced very advanced philosophies. We appreciate them while at the same time we recognize certain things within the context of their times.
You’re verging on the same prejudice that the ‘wokeists’ display when they tear down statues of slaveholders, Confederate leaders, etc.
