[Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith by Robert Patterson]@TWC D-Link bookFables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith CHAPTER IV 37/57
When Agathoclas besieged Carthage, two hundred children, of the most noble families, were murdered by the command of the senate, and three hundred citizens voluntarily sacrificed themselves to Saturn.[58] The laws of Sparta required theft, and the murder of unhealthy children.
Those of ancient Rome allowed parents the power of killing their children, if they pleased.
At Athens, the capital of heathen literature and philosophy, it was enacted "that infants which appeared to be maimed should either be killed or exposed."[59] Plato, dissatisfied with the constitution, made a scheme of one much better, which he has left us in his Republic.
In this great advance of society, this heathen millennium, we find that there was to be a community of women and of property, just as among our modern heathens. Women's rights were to be maintained by having the women trained to war. Children were still to be murdered, if convenience called for it.
And the young children were to be led to battle at a safe distance, "that the young whelps might early scent carnage, and be inured to slaughter." The teachings of all these philosophers were immoral.
