You just implied that either
a) some child-slaughter is not condemable
or
b) some child-slaughter is in keeping with Hinduism, or the teachings of the Gita.
Re-check your grammar.
Note the lack of cheap shots.
But since you raised the question: what was this dude's rationale (by his own account) for the killing? Are there any subsects within Hinduism which promote this kind of thing (thinking here of the Thuggees death cult by way of analogy).
Cheers!
“You just implied that either...”
Umm, no, I didn’t. Killing of children has nothing to do with the Gita, which was my argument through the length of that entire thread, against Steelfish’s accusation to the contrary. Learn to refer to context, please.
Speaking of grammar and erudition, perhaps you need to learn the difference between ‘here’ and ‘hear’ as well, as was apparent from your post on the other thread.
Let’s not be Grammar Nazis, shall we?
Thuggies, child-rapists, paedophile Catholic priests, indulgence-sellers, witch-hunters all members of the same tribe.

Hindus to end human sacrifice practice
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_25-6-2003_pg4_18
GUWAHATI: Hundreds of Hindu monks pledged Tuesday to fight ancient barbaric rituals of human sacrifices at temples in India where the grisly practice continues.
“A very miniscule cult still believes that to achieve supernatural magical powers one needs to sacrifice a child at the altar,” Biswajit Giri, a 45-year-old Hindu mystic, told AFP.
“The practice of human sacrifice ... has not died down completely and is being carried out in many select temples secretly.”
*************************************************************
Imagine that. Some people condemn the punishment of a society with the death penalty 4,000 years ago for crimes committed against them, but choose to ignore the ritual human sacrifice of children practiced as recently as a few years ago.
It looks like child slaughter IS in keeping with Hinduism in some way, shape, or form. A simple google search will bring up more results about it than the average person can stomach.
Busted.....
