Ok, here he does it again… I’m starting to think that I can’t accept this guy as a serious scholar. > [@](#): > > and then a brilliant ruler name Hammurabi took power as the sixth king of Babylon from 1792 to 1750 B.C. > > \ > > He created a system of justice by promulgating an elaborate code of law (the Code of Hammurabi, or Hammurabi’s Code). The code imposed harsh punishment of “an eye for an eye,” and lower classes of people received harsher punishment than higher classes of people. If you broke the bone of a “free man” (non-slave), then the punishment was to break one of your bones. That was simple and effective, and the Old Testament uses a similar approach in some ways (who used this first?). Who used it first? I’m guessing the one that was written about 250 years earlier than the Old Testament. ---

You do you, bro, but when I clicked on the thread, I was directed to post #23, and it took me an hour to read through 199 posts to catch myself up (an endeavor I still struggle to justify). My _bonhomie_ toward you as a fellow Doper compels me to express the hope that your revivification of the thread has got legs. At the same time, I’m not holding my breath. ---

I just checked and Conservapedia is still up and running. They seem to be aiming more for recent news now rather than covering all human knowledge. Their front page is links to stories “the MSM isn’t fully covering”. Like how evil Ukraine is and how the NFL is fighting against Christianity and how the Biden FBI promoted the George Floyd riots. ---
