Recall God had to send his son to earth to set things straight with all those misguided folks, you know, that episode when Jesus challenged the locals that were without sin to cast the first stone at that prostitute.
Too bad Muslims appeared 600 yrs. later and never got the message that you just don't do that shit anymore.
Too bad Christian societies up until the Enlightenment (and still some after) were stoning adulteresses.
Query: Is that because Christians misunderstood the "new rules" for the first 1000+ years after Christ and suddenly got it, or because the revolution in secular thought had a tempering effect on the extreme cruelties of Judeo-Christian culture?
(Give it a while guys, this is a tough question for Christians...)
