It’s absolutely appalling the number of Catholics who are advocating for the murder of non-Catholics whom they deem heretics, and then cobbling together unrelated passages of Scripture to justify it, no less.

Was it murder to apply the death penalty for horse thievery in 19th century America, the bastion of protestant post-enlightenment thought?

There is NO justification found anywhere, including Scripture, for the murder of someone rejecting a denominational affiliation.

Are you aware that there was a time where "denominational affiliation" was not merely a matter of opinion but had severe civil and societal implications?

Thus we can be assured that a professed member of ISIS would be welcome to set up residence in your neighborhood?

This is not the first time you have expressed your support for the killing of *heretics*.

Many of us remember well the last time you did it.

You are not going to convince anyone that you didn’t mean it at this point and all the deflections you post, in apparent attempts to blame shift and accuse others, is not going to change anyone’s recollection or mind.

Obfuscation, which is hard to believe you are ignorant of, as horse thievery is not a crime of belief, nor executed under obedience to the church ruling over all.

Both Catholic and Prot theocratic governments which employed the sword of men to deal with theological dissent were wrong, which was one more thing Prots had to unlearn from Rome.
