I also had NYE and Oerdin in mind when I said "you guys" = and yeah, Im sure they realize Jews dont go around killing gays, but they could well think thats cause of some modern "Reform" thing. I doubt they know that in the Mishnah, (IE in Roman times) theres a debate on whether the death penalty for MURDER should be used more than once a generation.

There really do seem to be people who picture ancient Jewish society based on a quasi-literalist reading of the bible, and assume that it was all liberalized by Jesus. What are you babbling on about?
