visual said:For God sake bullmarket,how about you verify,that what you think is what God meant you to think.
The bible is a very old book translated by people,who we know all too often fail.
And if you have a problem with what I say put me on your ignore list,same thing,people like you are what gives religion a bad name.You are so sure and yet,the Vatican keeps on modernising its views as represented in the Bible.
Bullmarket have you even being in a court of law? Maybe you should just spend a bit of time there I suggest the county court and the supreme court stay for the all trial,hang around the corridors before the courts open and listen to the prosecutor or defence lawyers of even the tipstaff just generally talking,you will learn a lot.bullmarket said:I explained the roles of the law makers, prosecuting and defence lawyers to help ensure a fair trial.

visual said:Bullmarket you misunderstand,verify GOD thinks what you think he meant with his lessons.Verify that,before you ask anyone else to verify any of their opinions.
You are just expressing opinions that are humanly,God on the other hand was more than a human,So how can you be so unmovable about what he thinks or what he meant.

cheers

bullmarket said:As evil, horrific and abhorent as this crime is, it still does not justify a death penalty imo for the reasons I posted in the other thread.
Imo, the minimum custodial sentence has to be a very long time to help deter others from committing similar offences and if after the minimum custodial sentence there is no genuine remorse and rehabilitation then you leave him locked up for the term of his natural life.
Imo, those who believe in God should find it a lot easier to cope with a custodial sentence for serious crimes like this in the knowledge that we will all be judged by our maker eventually where true justice will be done.
Imo, those that do not believe in God are much more likely to want to take the easy way out and commit another blatant and cowardly murder (at least in the moral sense) by taking another human life to exact what they perceive as 'justice' but imo is nothing more than cowardly vengeance.
In my eyes, there is very little distinction between the offender who committed the murder in the first place and those who would cowardly murder him as well in vengeance by stringing him up, strapping him to an electric chair or whatever other means they would choose.
Somefood for thought I posted elsewhere:
I suppose those that do not believe in God are hoping that they are right and everyone else is wrong because eternity is a hell of a long time to be suffering in hell (or whatever your equivalent might be) for getting it wrong (ie...committing blatant murder, legalised or not) in the relatively miniscule 80 odd years we spend on average in this life

Execute the sicko, so there is justice on Earth. God forgives all those who repent so let the bastard repent his sins as they stick in the needle and he gets eternity in eutopia.
... and for the people discussing in this thread, the role of the soldiers in war, I think you do them tremendous dis-honour by even mentioning them in the same thread as this a55hole.
... if capital punishment is not helping to solve the crime situation, and life sentences just serve to fill up the prison system and the courts, is there a way to curb the miscreants before they go bad? Corporal punishment seemed to work for a looong time? Is it time to bring back the cat, the rattan and the 'Board of Education' ?
... and what of the lawmakers who make these laws with loopholes so people like this get a 'second chance'? And the lawyers who got him off the first time around? Aren't they partly responsible for this? Often the intention of the law (the reason the law was written in the first place) is overlooked by the lawyers who argue only the words with which the law was written. Is it time to overhaul the justice system to bring back common sense, in court to argue the logic of the law instead of the letter of the law?
clowboy said:Bullmarket, I honestly can not see how you interpert from the bible that acts of war are criminal - Ie one soldier killing another equates to murder. I am not saying that war is good or that we should not try and prevent it, but we can not hold soldiers responsible for thier actions (orders).
