I suggest you calm down. Stoning adulterer's at one time did seem to be God's answer, and claiming that it never was is very dangerous spirtual ground indeed.
Though I voted for Tim, I feel that God's will was done in this race. Perhaps the best thing that could happen to Tim is that he lost, maybe getting away from Washington will help him. Since the GOP won the sentate anyway, I don't think one baby extra will die by abortion. PBA ban is the only thing that the GOP is willing to do (maybe, or maybe they will cheat us again) and Pryor will vote for that.
In the long run, it is best to insist that our leaders have high moral standards. Such integrity may frustrate the short-sighted, but it is our only hope in the long run of electing good men and keeping them free of the corrosive influence of DC.

The wages of sin were always death... but GOD intended for you to kill and eat the fatted calf, not actually kill the adutleror...
"I will have mercy instead of sacrifice" actually means God did NOT want the penalties to be carried out, literally, but that folks would find a merciful way to correct a failed lifestyle of sin...
So...
Calm down yourself... we (who are allegedly christian conservatives) have a problem with the holier than thou attitudes... we effectively kill babies by imposing an unreasoned and impossible standard... and NOT voting for the pro life guy as a punishment to him...
It is a fools form of righteousness... YOU get over it.
