He said you would be able to figure out when it is wrong... how exactly you would be able to figure out which law is wrong and which is right I don't know because it sounds rather subjective and unreliable to me but meh what do I know I'm a filthy heathen![]()
Step out of your comfort zone and dare yourself to enter a Christian website where the 6th commandment , death, killing, murder etc is explained to you. You probably will not, it's much easier and quicker to be anal.

The Bible in Basic English translates the phrase, "Do not put anyone to death without cause."

But the pitchfork and flaming torches brigade running around calling for executions is a little bit worrying.
I don't think anyone here is really taking the victim's side, but rather trying to point out that noone has the right to take another person's life, regardless of whatever crimes they have committed.
It's one thing to be relieved that there's one less murderer/rapist/thief on the streets, but it's quite another to celebrate someone being brutally murdered. There's more than enough pain and suffering in the world, the last thing we need to do is encourage more.
While I know what you're trying to say I want to add that you have the right to take someone's life in defence of your own life or the lives of those you are obligated to protect.I don't think anyone here is really taking the victim's side, but rather trying to point out that noone has the right to take another person's life, regardless of whatever crimes they have committed.
Unfortunately there are many people in the current crime-ridden SA that DO deserve to die ... slow and painfullyVery few people deserve to die, but in cases like this I feel no pity if that is thier fate.
