Should molesters be killed?

[TheReasoner]

Yes. In fact, Jesus thought that capital punishment was too good for them. In Matthew 18:6 he says of those who harm little children it would be better for them if they had a millstone tied around their necks and they were cast into the sea than what G-d has in store for them.

Vengeance is mine says the Lord. I will repay.
It's not up to us.

Khameo, I have nothing more to say to you, you who so audaciously and publicly EXCUSE predatory behavior. I feel contaminated for having this much contact with you at all. Do not speak to me again. Do not post me, do not pm me, do not even THINK about me. Now, excuse me while I go take a shower.

My work here is done.

If I was going to lie, I'd do it for my own personal benefit.

Showing that I hold views that many people find reprehensible benefits me nothing.

I don't want you to agree with me.

If you thrive on negative attention then your reprehensible views would personally benefit you by getting people worked up over what you post.

If you thrive on such things.

 

[Autumnleaf]

So, you're going to adopt the stance that 'love means punishment, so god can punish you for all eternity because he loves you'.

Please, do not be so facetious.

Love means caring for the well being of another. Sometimes that means spanking a child for stealing. Other times it means sacrificing 300 men to hold off a million man army so the people at home can prepare the defences. As for Hell, people choose by their actions to be there or not. By God giving us free will the choice is no longer his.

First, compared to what I wanted to say and do, I was incredibly restrained and kind.

Now that may have cost you quite a bit of constraint already (and your effort is certainly admirable), but that wasn´t what I was talking about. I didn´t intend to make a statement about your character, I was talking about the undesirable effect that personal attacks have.

Second, sometimes a person like this needs a one on one encounter with the raw damage left behind in the person, not cool intellectual information.

I don´t think that being called names reflects even only faintly the raw damage left behind by being abused as a child. I fail to see the logic of this approach. Typically, attacking a poster gives them the impression that I have no point (else I would make it, after all).
Your approach sounds pretty much like based on the idea of vengeance and retribution. I don´t see the benefits of that approach that tends to spread negativity like a bush fire - neither for the person acting, nor for the person addressed, nor for any of the bystanders.
I guess we just pursue different purposes of communication - at least I don´t see any productive purpose or positive effect that insulting others could possibly have.

The answer to his mistake is not information, it is the people harmed by molestation.

I am afraid I don´t understand this sentence.

Would Jesus kill them?

Nope, but I'm not Jesus. I'm not even worthy of Jesus.

Me.... I'm okay with killing them as I said before.

You're a Christian, yes?
As a Christian I would say our main goal is to be as much like Jesus as we can.
Is that what you're doing by wanting them dead?





(And no-one is worthy of Jesus by the way. But He accepts us all anyway )

 

[Tonks]

Absolutely, and I suggest we use old age to do it.

FTW

 

[Angel4Truth]

define FTW?

I am a Christian, yes.
Tell me this... there was two criminals being crusified right along with Jesus. Did Jesus speak out against them being killed for their crimes? Did Jesus speak out against himself being killed? So tell me... just what is Jesus' stance on Capitol Punishment?

(And no-one is worthy of Jesus by the way. But He accepts us all anyway )

Agreed

 

[LittleNipper]

Research suggests pedophiles and child molesters don't get rehabilitated. Should they be killed for their indiscretions?

Simply give the molested a gun.

 

[cantata]

Simply give the molested a gun.

Oh, good idea! Put a murder on their conscience as well as all the other guilty feelings that being molested can produce. Brilliant.

In this day and age, they will likely not feel guilty. They are desposing of an attacker.

I think that I would feel guilty.
