If Jesus's execution by the Romans justifies the death penalty, surely we ought to introduce crowns of thorns and side-piercing as optional punishments in U.S. jails? Why not?
If Jesus's execution by the Romans justifies the death penalty, surely we ought to introduce crowns of thorns and side-piercing as optional punishments in U.S. jails? Why not? Crowns of thorns and side-piercing are simple adornments. If prisoners want to wear them to their executions-- I see no reason why they shouldn't be accommodated. Afterall, they were right with God, and his Son.
