I mean - they were breaking the law, ya know? Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, right? And the government is always right, too.
I guess you missed the part where the entire story is not simply unfounded but an out and out lie?
Hmmmm?

Try again.

Anyway - thankfully, for the most part, we HAVE moved past those times. That's why brutality such as religious persecution, stonings, beheadings, etc shock us. Let's just remember - our ancestors were guilty of the same actions, regardless of their religious views. Such actions were sanctioned by "civilized" governments.

And the recent history of the 20th century should show very clearly that we Westerners are not above a bit of brutality ourselves.

Perspective, folks. Historical perspective.

That doesn't make any of it right, however.
Yet what the OP posted never happened.

I honestly believe that there are quite a few people who do not understand the difference.

In their minds making something available to anyone who chooses to avail themselves is a greater evil than telling EVERYONE that they can't do it at all.

Another one who apparently removed the Old Testament from the Bible.


Exodus 22:18 -

18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.


So, Leviticus yes, Exodus no?

Seems like an awful lot of Christians are picking and choosing how to follow God's word.

Can't recall ever reading anything about not taking a child to a doctor or beating a child in the New Testament.

What are you talking about, the picture of a shredded hand from 2010 that was first said to be a paper shredder accident, and this year has become a bible picture. . .

Even for a paper shredder accident it looks fake. . .
