That said, I never said he shouldn't be executed. He SHOULD be executed, painfully. He should not be let out of prison, except if its in a casket.
Sorry, I do not see things that way.
Evil should be hated; doesn’t mean I don’t have compassion for the evildoer, and hope he repents and turns to God; I hope that for every soul.
But evil, if not hated, becomes wishy-washy enablement in the name of forgiveness, which is exactly what we have now.
