Thing that pisses me off about the whole thing, are devote christians that are in favor of the death penalty... (IE BUSH, etc)
You can spit off any amount of scripture supporting your "pro-death penalty in the name of Christ" thinking, but honestly how could anyone who
follows Christ, who suffered the death penalty unjustly, so easily push for it.
A normal IQ + True Christian Value = anti-death penalty.
We are talking about Jesus here, the love your neighbor as yourself, the turn the cheek guy, yeah him. Not the kill the dude who hurts you guy...
Never once said it.
IMO death is too easy. If someone is evil, then whats better for them then wasting away in prison, away from their loved ones, away from life, away
from everything special, rotting in a cell, getting gang raped for life, with nothing to do but repent or rot.
Countless innocent people have been put to death throughout time. Millions of those who supposedly deserve it, still walk the earth. It doesn't
detour crime, never has... Time to wake up, esp to those God fearing folks...
Remember he's the one who judges all, not you or the Governor, or the President or the court system.
I've had a first hand experience with the whole death penalty thing, my friend was shot in the head after being car jacked. No death penalty in Rhode
Island, but they pushed for Federal law (car jacking resulting in death can get death penalty). (do a search on Amy Shute)
None of the 5 people who did it, got the death penalty. But you know what, they will rot in prison until they die, never to get out and just be free
again, and to me thats way worse then the death penalty... The family wanted it, but thats because of the state they were in, understandable cuz of
the events.
So keep spreading that nonsense christian thinking. Pat Robinson does not equal Jesus Christ... Sorry, he isn't the new messiah... Let Jesus Judge
you, not political-religious-salesmen who are trying to convert our country into something that is not.
I'm not totally religious (grew up in the Catholic School system,( keep the anti catholic nonsense to yourself) but I have an IQ that allows me to
see the hypocritical bs that comes from the mouths of many so called devote christians, including those in my own religion.
Just doesn't make sense. IF you want to Kill those who do harm to you, pick another religion, invent your own Jesus (basically thats what your doing
anyways).. But geez, don't push anti christian thinking, while claiming the tax-free christian status...
Pro Death Penalty and Christian Value are opposites. Extremely opposite ways of dealing with life.
You can not pick and choose Christian Values to fit your thinking. Well you can, but its not waht Christ was about. What makes that thinking better
then Islam extremists, who stone little girls? Jesus wasn't about Death Penalty.
