The "Heretic Killer" is back, calling for unity of Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and (maybe) Jews. Heretics are traitors and should be killed.

Suffice it to say that we were told not to go "thread jumping."

And if you're going to do it anyway, at least be honest. This is what was said:

Traitors and heretics do deserve death.

However, so does everybody else.

That's quite different. Try being honest, for once.

Good idea Dave. If it had ended with the "standard disclaimer" I would have no case. Apparently you missed the penultimate paragraph.

That being said, I repeat: traitors deserve death, and in a society based upon Christianity, heretics may be rightly counted as traitors, as they seek the overthrow of the existing social order. The death penalty itself is an entirely Scriptural and moral practice in such cases, presuming of course that due process is observed.

Is it that you missed that or is it that you are being disingenuous again?
