      I think the Christian way involves lions. Or inadequate healthcare.

          Istanbul was Constantinople

          Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople

          Been a long time gone, Constantinople

          Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night

          Every gal in Constantinople

          Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

          So if you’ve a date in Constantinople

          She’ll be waiting in Istanbul

      I thought that’s stoning to death. The brutality is key.

        You have to be sinless to chuck the first stone, so the early church would drag people off and stab them in the alley. (Incidentally, this was how Jews took care of it at the time because Roman’s kind of frowned on other people getting in on it,)

        When the church became a power… they switched to burnings, hangings and other “creative” ways to torture people to death.
