Gaius Octavius

After taking my wife out to see Night at the Museum, I decided to find out more about Gaius Octavius-the roman general who plays alongside a miniturized Owen Wilson.

It turns out Gaius Octavius was one the best Roman generals alongside Scipio Africanus and Julius Ceasar. Although he wasn't of the noble class, he married a relative of Julius Ceasar and quickly achieved recognition through military conquest (against the Dalmations I believe).

I was shocked when I read this section from wikipedia:

At the time, it was Roman custom to lay a newborn before their father. If the baby was a boy, and the father wanted to keep the child, the father would pick the boy up and hold him. If the baby was a girl, and the father wanted to keep the child, he would signal for the mother to breastfeed the baby . If he did not want the child (either a boy or a girl), he would have the child thrown out into the streets. It is believed that, because of a warning from an astrologer, Octavius almost had his son Octavius thrown out into the street. Instead, he decided at the last moment to keep the child.

And his son, also named Octavius, would one day become the ruler known as "Augustus" -as in the month August, Augustus.

Like those times it is considered an American/Worldly custom to give parents abortion on demand, a custom that increases as a country becomes more secular.

The Greeks left their unwanted babies on the hills to die of exposure. The accolytes of Molech burned their babies to death on the altar of Molech.

I bring this up because a number of people (such as Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano) have been accusing the Christians of promoting terrorism, as if secularism will save us from mass murder.

Have we already forgotten the Great Terror of the French Revolution? Or Stalin's purge where -if I remember correctly- 20 million (mostly innocent) Russians died?

Secularism is another word for killing mass amounts of innocent people.

Also, check out this excellent article by Ann Coulter where she shows how a so-called Christian terrorist killed one person every decade, but abortion has killed 49 million people (that's about about 1/6th the population of the US ... do you think there might have been some Augustuses in there?).
