So I ask, can you put a man to death on an atheists say so?
what good are 3 atheist witnesses?

Well, if they're fool enough to publicly admit their atheism ( :doh: ), in a Mosaic legal system they can be put to death there and then; they have incriminated themselves.

And where is this legal system?

No. Don't let the family claim the body. Put it on display, to rot in full public sight.

Gerald,,,, O crushing one,

Why do I get the feeling that most of your posts are laced with irony and cynicism?

Am I right?

You know what I meant.
What country is this legal system in place today?

27 votes so far and not 1 vote for "it's wrong to kill". Where is the RCC voter base on this board?

You mean the full Levitical code, or just laws against blasphemy, etc.?

We finally got a 'It's wrong to kill' response......

Anybody fessing up?

Are you people nuts. The death penelty is MORAL??????? It is anything but!

 

[Friday]

It was me. I did it. It is wrong to kill.

 

[BillyBob]

It's wrong to murder. Killing can be justified.

Friday, Welcome to TOL.

Could you expand on your assertion a bit? Does that include killing self defense? Is a nation wrong to defend itself from invading armies?

Is it absolutely wrong, or is it your opinion?
