Remind me quick which religion teaches that God lets happen and is at fault for letting happen.
It might surprise you, not all in Hollyweird are liberals. There are quite a few conservatives
The problem with the death penalty is that it has been used far too many times on people who were wrongfully convicted and who ended up being found factually innocent.
I support the death penalty but it should NEVER be used in cases where a conviction was obtained (even in part) based on circumstantial evidence, a police report, or the eyewitness testimony of a criminal informant.
Unless there is rock solid and incontrovertible evidence then no one should get the death penalty as the misuse of the ultimate penalty is every bit a form of premeditated murder.
And in cases where innocent people are found to have been put to death based on false evidence or etc. then the arresting officers and prosecuting attorneys should likewise be put to death. No more of this “sovereign immunity” to hide behind when murdering people from behind the safety of a badge.
Lois Lerner must get the needle...... asap
Genesis chapter nine has never been amended or repealed.
And its executive command was given to all mankind, via the sons of Noah, not just to Christians or Israelites.
The Mosaic system, which sometimes called for execution in the case of offenses that to us sound ridiculously trivial (e.g. sabbath breaking) as well as out and out murder, required two witnesses, in principle allowing a lot of killers to just skate.
Glenn was eligible for parole in 2014, but on July 30th, he was denied parole with his request deferred for three more years.
Jun 2010:
A man serving three life sentences for a string of murders in 1975 was denied parole today and will remain in prison at least five more years.
A parole board at Four Mile Correctional Center in Canon City denied parole to Michael Corbett in his first parole hearing in eight and a half years. This is his fourth denial
Somehow King David skated... the problem happens when we try to mix a divine remedy with worldly logic.
“And in cases where innocent people are found to have been put to death based on false evidence or etc. then the arresting officers and prosecuting attorneys should likewise be put to death.

I’m sorry but, regardless of how you feel about capital punishment, that’s insane.
When it becomes “catch as catch can” vengeance powered that’s what happens...
Sorry, but what misery are you talking about? These two inhuman monsters haven suffered 100th of what Kelsey Grammer's sister did or what a baby does that is being aborted, especially late term. What these two deserve is hard labor. Not the kind where they only work maybe 8-10 hours a day. No the kind where they are forced to work 16 hours a day and in very inhuman condition. That is what they deserve
Very well said. It was Satan who did that, not God
The death penalty — if justly used — is actually pro-life. Its deterrent effect works to keep an uncountable number of innocent people alive.
Why should corrupt cops and prosecutors be allowed to conspire to murder people by using the state as a proxy? And then just walk away from their murderous criminal conspiracy like it was all just a big joke?
If they’re willing to murder someone in cold blood and with premeditation then they should not mind if they justly face the same penalty they knowingly and wrongfully imposed on someone else.
if there is no law, then there is no law
The original sin is forgiven through baptism
God’s not in charge on Earth. Not yet.
The most terrifying prayer in Christendom is the Lord’s Prayer:
‘Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.’
Let Your will prevail on Earth, is it always does in Heaven.
If God were ‘in charge’, and everyone were FORCED to play by the rules, you wouldn’t need that petition.
Free will, baby. You get to choose to love God, to live by His rules. God’s not a rapist.
Corrupt is one thing. I thought you meant anytime the legal system goes wrong with everyone working in good faith.
No worries! Like I said, I support it but under stringent conditions.
And there should be ramifications for those who would try to use their authority to murder someone else.
In case you missed it, there were no Christians in the old testament. They came after our Lord Jesus Christ
