Ohio Man Who Shot Wife Dead In Front Of Children While En Route To Photo Shoot Learns Fate

Cheating is a big deal, but saying it gives someone the right to kill someone over it is sick and evil.

I have an in-law who was a byproduct of a Lebanese-American conjoining. Catholic family, but they’re still half middle eastern. And this person is one messed up piece of work. It so very weird to watch the value they place on certain physical objects. Just because someone in their family once touched it... the same family that they. have had no contact with for decades.

Your opinion/feelings.

Maybe I’m too religious, Texan, old, militant and violent, or just senile.

If someone cheats, they are giving their spouse the right to blow them away. Yes you read that right. Shoot holes into them to let the warm blood run out until they die.

If I were the judge, I don’t care if his name is Mohamed or Smith, if she cheated (that need to be determined), or if a guy cheats, it is to me a mitigating circumstance that would make me drastically reduce the sentence.

Maybe you should read the Bible so you can discern the difference between what is “evil,” and not.

But then again, maybe you have your own definition of what is evil, your own version of what conservative is...

Adultery has been punished by death in the West and Christians, Africa, Latin culture, Jews, Islam... since forever.

Serial polygamy as today (marriage and divorce, remarry and divorce...), cuckold relationships where that's seen as cute, open relationships... That's all new age stuff which spreads diseases and creates social dysfunction, but feeds into some feminist and ultra liberal egalitarian ideology.

What do you want to bet that if there were some consequences for this idiot behavior we see today, it would stop really quick?

See The woman caught in adultery, and the woman at the well.

You make a good point Biblical, as it is understood and taught today.

That said, as a society we are changing, what once was seen as unacceptable behavior is tolerated today.

The victim today often becomes the perpetrator.

Up until 1973, in Texas, if you shot a spouse that was cheating, it was seen as justifiable: https://www.sll.texas.gov/faqs/homicide-adultery/

I do not care what religion the guy is, if his wife was cheatimg on him, that changes the circumstances, significantly.

It was mentioned in the article that this could have been the case (from what I remember) and it needs determined because his sentence should reflect these mitigating circumstances.

These are not cases where someone merely said something as with blacks in America that think they can go berserk if someone calls them a nigger. That is “fake outrage,” they call each other these names all the time, sing it in their music, say it movies... But then use it as an excuse to beat people or pretend to be deeply insulted if anyone non-black says this.

I get that people can't just take justice in their own hands. Another angle to all of this. There needs to be some sort of punishment. But that punishment needs adjusted for the mitigating circumstances since the person killed did something which reasonably contributed / provoked this. The person that committed the crime is not really a threat to society.

Some people will not take adultery lightly even though our society has become very tolerant and sexually permissive. Today in America you have serial polygamy (people married 5 or 6 times), cuckolds, swingers, open marriages, LGBTQIA, casual hook ups (entire websites advertising in the MSM devoted for the casual sexual hook up), mass pornography... So I get your world view. It's in step with the Hollywood values being proselytized 24/7.

That simply wasn't the case historically for most of the world (including the US), for most of time.

2024 change in New York (it wasn't ok even in the more liberal states in the past): https://www.timesunion.com/state/article/new-york-decriminalized-adultery-117-years-later-19936765.php (it's now not even a misdemeanor)

The point is our society is changing, and while it's “no big deal” for you, it is a big deal for other people who also should be considered by a justice system. Not only your values, whatever they are, today.

Here's some statistics for you. 90% of men and 80% of women will get HPV in their lifetime. 20% of all youth (before 21) will contract a serious STD (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or HIV). 70% of incarcerated youth come from single parent homes. 82% of school shooters came from an unstable home. A fertility rate of 1.6 per woman in the US. 63.4 million abortions, but we need to import people otherwise we can't even keep our tax base alive (LOL). 40% of all marriages ending in divorce... Do you really think these new values are working for us?

I never said it was no big deal. It’s a very big deal, but killing a suspected adultere is compounding the evil. We are under a New Covenant:

Matthew 5:38-48
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

The old testament is still valid.

Only certain parts are superseded.

The parts that do not apply today are ceremonial and civil.

I'll make it easy for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+parts+of+old+testament+are+superceded%3F&oq=what+parts+of+old+testament+are+superceded

However, the moral laws as for adultery and murder are still 100% as valid today as they were in 35 BC.

Being a Christian does not mean Genesis - Malachi don't exist.
