What does Christianity have to do with Talmudic law? If they'd bother to
look, the requirement of circumcision died somewhere in ACTS.

And the only thing in the New Testament directly about executions is from a
section that is of dubious authorship (and normally marked as such). It's
hard to keep working on converting people after you kill them after all.

Oh - and try not to blame me for:
1. The actions of someone dead for 500 years now; and 2. Anything done by,
for, or in the name of the Roman Catholic church.

'ta!
