Come again? You prefer people who fear God more than the government? That is this side of the argument, my FRiend. You are the one worried about police becoming storm troopers. We are saying that our trust is in God and we are grateful for the peace provided. Perhaps you are saying you don't prefer yourself????
Rather, I am saddened by those who defend the practice.
Those who fear God do not threatened to murder small children.
Those who defend the practice only embolden them to “up” their “threats” by doing so.
“If you hadn’t done “X”, little Tommy could have lived.....”
In the end, God will deal with those who oppressed the innocent along with the guilty (or instead of the guilty), as he will deal with those who did not condemn those who threatened the innocent.
