But this has only been around for 2000 years and ancients thought these practices were normal

What's your point. They also thought crucifixion, slavery, rape as a normal part of war, burning for witches, gladiator games, salting the earth, and genocide were normal. We do not. That is what Christianity and 2000 years of Western History have accomplished. I certainly have no interest to going back to ancient Greek standards for things. Do you?

That is exactly my point. The PC crowd attacks our faith as "religion" which got rid of all that bad stuff that you list.

You would not beleive the number of people on the left who think that if the romans did it, it must have been right since the romans were so *civilized*
