Something to bear in mind, when condemning the Israelites slaughter of "innocents" is that many of those "innocents" practiced actual REAL human child sacrifice ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice Carthage was notorious to its neighbors for child sacrifice. Plutarch (ca. 46–120 AD) mentions the practice, as do Tertullian, Orosius and Diodorus Siculus. Livy and Polybius do not. The Hebrew Bible also mentions what appears to be child sacrifice practiced at a place called the Tophet ("roasting place") by the Caananites, ancestors of the Carthaginians, and by some Israelites. Some of these sources suggest that babies were roasted to death on a heated bronze statue. According to Diodorus Siculus, "There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire." The accuracy of such stories is disputed by some modern historians and archaeologists. Nevertheless, several apparent "Tophets" have been identified, including a large one in Carthage. Sites within Carthage and other Phoenician centers revealed the remains of infants and children in large numbers; most historians interpret this as evidence for frequent and prominent child sacrifice to the god Ba'al Hammon. Greek, Roman and Israelite writers refer to Phoenecian child sacrifice. However, some historians have disputed this interpretation, suggesting instead that these were resting places for children miscarried or who died in infancy. It has been argued that evidence of Carthaginian child sacrifice is incomplete, and that it is far more likely to have been Roman blood libel against the Carthaginians to justify their conquest and destruction. The debate is ongoing among modern archeologists and historians. Skeptics suggest that the bodies of children found in Carthaginian and Phoenician cemeteries were merely the cremated remains of children that died naturally. Sergio Ribichini has argued that the Tophet was "a child necropolis designed to receive the remains of infants who had died prematurely of sickness or other natural causes, and who for this reason were "offered" to specific deities and buried in a place different from the one reserved for the ordinary dead". The few Carthaginian texts which have survived make absolutely no mention of child sacrifice, though most of them pertain to matters entirely unrelated to religion, such as the practice of agriculture. Consensus among scholars is that Carthaginian children were sacrificed by their parents, who would make a vow to kill the next child if the gods would grant them a favor: for instance that their shipment of goods were to arrive safely in a foreign port. They placed their children alive in the arms of a bronze statue of —: “ the lady Tanit… The hands of the statue extended over a brazier into which the child fell once the flames had caused the limbs to contract and its mouth to open… The child was alive and conscious when burned… Philo specified that the sacrificed child was best-loved. Something else to bear in mind is that the Plejarans are a fucking joke.

Can moderator please REMOVE TheATAO`s image ASAP.. it is OBSCENE and unproper in this forum. Thank you.

Thank you for deleting that pic. That was horrible. He throws a fit over pictures of women that don't even show anything, but yet he posts such grotesque images like that.

Yes , thank you, that picture was totally not acceptable speacially when i was to have dinner..

Hey ATA0, I found an article about you: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/04/martin.jesus/index.html

I'm curious, what did ATA0 post that offended people and was deleted? What has our little lamb of God done? :x

He posted a picture of a dead baby with blood all over it, and yet I can't post a topless girl or marijuana plant without him threatening to report me. So I deactivated his name. He's a pain in the ass, and I don't want him spreading his misery here. He also doesn't believe in the rings, most of the time, so why is he here? There are at least three ring users that stoped posting here because of him. Why should ATAO have control of the forum that way?

I thought it was Alaska that posted pot plants. I guess ATAO is banned then?

yeah, he was a bullet hole in our head
