@erodpsemaj I didn't know Jesus stood trial for murder! From what I read, he stood trial for claiming to be king. In our system, I don't think you'll be put on death row if you run outside of your home and scream affirmations of royalty.

But thanks for bringing Jesus up. I believe he asserted that "whosoever will take up the sword shall perish by the sword". Matthew 26: 51-52 Oh, and I'm not the one who convinced him to say that! More like He convinced me.

@44fastgun I bet this will all sound funny when your trying to convince Jesus that the Romans had the moral authority to kill him. And if he doesn't get it right away, maybe you should write down on a piece of paper "The bible is pro-death penalty", then roll it up length wise and stick it in the hole in his hand. He'l get it then, Jesus loves irony.

@erodpsemaj Cognitive dissonance - uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously.

If "execution"and"murder" are one & the same, why are they separate words in English?

...why are they distinct in Spanish (morir, matar)?

...French? (tuer, meurtre)

...and behold, the most atheistic countries in the world: Sweden (doda, mord) and Denmark (nedskydning, mord) can distinguish the two! Why, the whole world is redundant! Only you can't distinguish them!

@erodpsemaj Now that you are more intensely condemning the statutes against murder as "horrible behavior", I'll pose the question again: Why are you so defensive in favor of heinous assassins who slaughter the innocent and destroy the lives of their families forever? Your humanistic approach sounds far more appalling than anything I've read in any Bible.

[44fastgun]

@erodpsemaj If I remember right, humanists like you believe that the sun and the earth and the rest of the universe together were the size of your fist, a lobster could be your great grandpa, and that killing is just a method of natural selection that is necessary to establish a dominant breeds (<Hitler would agree with you)? And you believe all this in the 21st century!

@erodpsemaj "whatever you need to tell yourself so you can kill people."

I have never seen such a fervent plea for the compassion of serial killers and rapists from anyone other than.........well.......serial killers and rapists
