Dear Lord,

Forgive me for getting his name wrong in the poll question. His name is Nicholas.

Edited yet again to thank Joyfulbeliever for correcting the name in the poll question.

The beheading? Nope. I figured I don't need to see it to get a general idea of how gruesome it was. Just as much as I don't feel the need to see someone being sexually assaulted to get a general idea of how demeaning it is.

You mean the be-heading? I didn't watch it - why would I? There's enough disgusting, sad and down-right evil going on around us - why in God's name would I want to subject myself to something that is just going to fuel the flames more?

 

[Blessed75]

Bingo - my sentiments exactly.

Ok, so Blessed had better wording than I did...but for those reasons, too

Maybe, that should also be a yes or no poll. Because I couldn't answer the thing.

I did not either, I just felt what purpose does it serve to watch a murder.

 

[Blessed75]

Okay, I was going to say the same thing about you!

It doesn't imo. Unless it's just morbid curiousity

See, every now and then conservatives,moderates and liberals get along

You are right, oops my bad. I am click happy.

Can the mods change it or would I have to start a new one. I don't want to be like JD and have 15 refined polls on the same subject and wouldn't want to get Jame's gander up

Heh. You know deep down, you got love for him.

I did. A bit grainy, but a good snuff film non-the-less. Well not good good, but as far as snuff films go, that was a gorey one.

Sorry, but I think if you have a desire to see someone getting beheaded...you've got serious issues.

 

[Arwen Undomiel]

I was tempted to watch it, but then I sat back and asked myself what purpose it would accomplish - and would God approve if there was no greater purpose than curiosity?

 

[Jenna]

I admit to having watched it. *nods* It would probably have better for me to have not indulged my morbid curiosity at how any person could methodically done something like that. I have to say that I am struggling a great deal and praying often over the feelings that I am having toward people like that. How anyone could murder someone in such a cruel way while calling out praises to their god...... *shakes head* I'll just stop there before I start ranting in my anger.

Yeah, that's where my thoughts are as well right now.

I did not watch the video and have no desire to.

 

[Wilfred of Ivanhoe]

I havent' watched it. However, I just went to lunch with a co-worker and CNN had a clip of a video where the deceased is on his kness and I assume his murderors are standing over him. Just seeing that gets me pretty fired up. I don't think I could watch it. I think the worst part would be to see the guy's reaction as his execution begins.

I'd rather not watch because seeing something like that might make we want to do don my cross and set sail for the Holy Land, and I know that is not a Christian attitude.

I can agree with that.
