Well God will make that decision on May 1st about a minute after Steve takes his last breath.

This clown will hopefully get his on May 1. Equating what he did with using farm tractors? While ill-advised, I’m not sure why it should be any more illegal than using any number of non-human devices. I don’t think you’ve gone from bad to horrific. You’re saying, “If they let this guy go, they’ll EVEN let people use TRACTORS.” Ummm okay.

Well, OK, I’m willing to compromise. We don’t execute him for murdering an infant. We execute him for raping her.

There are convicted killers who have come to repentance, who deserve to have their death sentences reduced to life in prisonI think the repentant thief, his cross adjacent to Christ is the model. To wit:
"You are the Christ!"
"Today you will be with me in paradise..."

I agree, he shouldn't be executed by the government. To quick and painless. For what he did, he really does need to suffer here, as a prelude to what he can expect after he dies.
I honestly don't consider myself a cruel man, but I can think of all sorts of disgusting things this guy needs to experience before his death.

The Commandment Thou shalt not kill seriously needs some rational justice thought.Technically, it's "Thou shalt not murder," big difference.

I am not sure I could come up with a sufficiently agonizing death for such a person.

In my opinion they can’t kill this guy fast enough.
To: MarkL
Technically, it's "Thou shalt not murder," Rewriting the Bible can't be tolerated, it's technical heresy.
To: ZirconEncrustedTweezers
Oh, I could. Guaranteed. He’d beg for death long before I’d be done with him.

Rewriting the Bible can't be tolerated, it's technical heresy.The word in Hebrew translates to "murder" in English: "Lo Tirzah," "Thou shall not commit murder." It's not an exact translation, but far more specific than just "kill." Mark

That is NOT what the Commandment says.

No. Freaking. Way.
My oldest was born in June of 1998. She would be about the same age as this little girl (if Mom hadn’t decided her sex life was more important than her own child). My daughter has had the opportunity to do so much more than this child ever got the chance to. My daughter is getting ready for high school, plays in the band, and is just so much fun to be around. I wonder if the mom of this poor baby thinks the sex was worth it now...
