July 25, 201412 yr Rockmom rocking the Scripture references! 12 years of Catholic school gives one skills. :lol:
July 25, 201412 yr Some posters over the years have said that if there is a conflict between what the Bible says and what man's law says they will side with the Bible. Does the Bible advocate long, agonizing, inhumane deaths for sinners? Even if it was my family member killed IN NO WAY would I want this to happen and I for damn sure wouldn't stand around to watch.

I wouldn't advocate for long agonizing death either...but honestly if someone murdered my wife or kids I can't say that it would bother me either.

July 25, 201412 yr IMO we can't be barbarians like the criminals. I agree, but if that happened unintentionally as in this case, to someone that killed my family it would not bother me.
July 25, 201412 yr I agree, but if that happened unintentionally as in this case, to someone that killed my family it would not bother me. *raises hand* Me too.
July 25, 201412 yr Honestly, if someone got convicted today and executed tomorrow, what would the true cost be? Total $. Another direction......how long did it take to kill McVeigh? Sp. Why was his done so swiftly? Was his execution the swiftest ever? No appeals maybe?? Can't recall.

Stoning?
July 25, 201412 yr Let's remove religion and replace it with philosophy. We cannot call ourselves a "civilized" society if we allow barbaric practices, even against the least desirable element. We talk about the downward spiral of American society, yet we want to condone, or are at least apathetic toward, cruelty. We hold societies that use barbaric practices in contempt, and we publicly state the American way as the "best" way. But are we any better? How many times have posters expressed a fear of America being overtaken by Sharia law, yet we have people who support not only the death penalty, but feel no concern that it can be cruel in it's application, and can result in innocent lives being taken.

July 25, 201412 yr I have zero sympathy. I hope it was the most painful 2 hours of his life. But that is not how we do things, it's against our laws.
