No hyperbole. Just my opinion. Slavery and sacrificing children to idols were also around during Biblical times and, like government executions, they are wrong thousands of years later. Again, tell Jesus his execution was ok because it was sanctioned by the state. You have an untenable position.

The execution was wrong because he was an innocent man. The thief on the cross admitted that they (2 thieves) were getting what they deserved, but Jesus was innocent and not deserving. Interesting Jesus didnt correct him or rail against the death penalty then.

On a side note, really interesting and horrific study on the pain and suffering that the Roman's used in their punishment methods to supposed wrong doers.

The government has no business executing anyone. The federal and state governments have screwed up many times and murdered innocent people as a result.
Hopefully we can get rid of this ineffective, barbaric practice when we have a decent person in charge. Trump pushed this to distract from Russia shenanigans. It gives some red meat to the cruelty crowd.

I have read some things on how they tortured people. They were quite sophisticated sadists.

I'd give up on the death penalty if it included abortion with it.

Is abortion really that fulfilling.


I’m opposed to the death penalty btw.
There are those who deserve to die but we have a habit of convicting the wrong person.
And a life is something you cannot give back once it’s taken. To big a risk of executing the wrong person imo

Abortion isn't my business. I'm not a woman, and it is none of my business.

Agreed on the death penalty.

Yeah, all one needs to do is re-visit the movie Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" that came out 16 years ago.
Gibson tried to keep the torture scenes of Jesus to authentic as possible to real life.

There is an irony in the fact that it may have been wrong, but it was needed to fulfill prophecy and redeem sins. Judas gets a bad rap in this regard, he just did what needed to be done and if he didn't then the prophecy wouldn't have been fulfilled. That's assuming the whole thing went down as written anyway.

And I’ll spare you all what Torah says about pulling the unborn from the mother to offer as a sacrifice to false gods.
I’m sure you can guess.
Hint: sometimes people’s love of themselves is worship of self as a false god

Based on the evidence I can see how he was convicted. But seems there could have been enough doubt to spare him a death sentence

Having read the story, I agree. In this particular case, I think a life sentence would have been more appropriate.

First federal execution in 17 years. Federal government can't get it's act together to save people from COVID, but damn, it just can't wait to execute folks. Loves em some death I guess.
