Ok a man rapes a 6 years old girl.. then cuts her up afterward.. what would you do to him? Put him in jail for 20 years??? So he can do it again.

I'd put him in jail for life. Who the heck here would put him in for 20 years? No one, I'd hope.

First off Jesus himself said the state is permitted to "draw the sword" so that sounds like a endorsement of the death penalty. He also said on several occassions that his rules for living do not apply to the non-entity state as a whole and that the state can create whatever laws they like and that a good christian would respect those rules even if he/she disagreed. Jesus never said for people not to judge as some have said here. People love to cut that quote in half to fit their own purposes. The real meaning of the quote is "Don't make rash judgements." It does NOT say "dont judge at all".

"Judge not lest ye be judged; for the manner in which you judge you shall be judged as well."

That does not sound like "Don't ever judge at all." Life is full of judgements we must make but the problem is humans have the very bad problem of misjudging or prejudging. It should be our goal to get above those simple human flaws.

Thank you again, States Smiley
