Texas also executed a woman who swung a pick axe into the stomach of an innocent person. She decided that after doing that, that she got religion and she should be forgiven.
If you swing a pick axe into the stomach of another person your intention is to destroy that person. Now, religion does not come into play.
God forgives.....you still owe the State.
I remember that bad actress. Larry King gave her plenty of airtime when he still could claim an audience.
Only God can do that.
She paid for her crime....she was executed.
You have no power over her eternity...
Her crime was horrible.....but she was imprisoned for years and then executed.
...People in jail can and do change for the better.....they find God...(not religion, as you call it)
Ask Chuck Colson!
You are talking about Karla Faye Tucker, a woman who deserved to die. She killed 2 people with the pickax and said she had an orgasm while doing it.
