Actually, its Nursing, but on to the issue.
I guess all I can say to the "murder-the-vandals" crowd is that if YOU actually do it and the dead kid's dad comes and kills you, nobody will be shedding any tears. At least the dad has an established moral leg to stand on... "You shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth..."
Those are your exact words, from post #22. (Bold mine.)
The point I was making? The Bible was referring to the way to punish a
criminal. If I am doing a criminal act, and am killed in the process thereof, there is no Biblical basis for anyone trying to get payback for my death.
When you read the Bible, dump your pre-concieved notions of what you want it to say. Read it, and read what it says. (Interestingly, if we could get lawmakers and jurists to read the Constitution the way I advocate reading the Bible, we would not have any of these cursed restrictions on our rights. Maybe reading a skill, beyond most government agents ability?)
As an aside before we get this thread locked, keep in mind, the mods don't like religion being discussed. If you still fail to understand the Bible; PM me, and I will help you as I can.
