So you are against the death penalty, john--or is it you want me to be liberal cry baby scum?
The death penalty and swift punishments are deterrents against creeps killing people en masse.

That's you talking, not me, with an emotional response. Your "argument" has NADA to do with "the death penalty:"
"Sick.
I hope they try the dirtbag that did this swiftly and then put him in front of the firing squad. Let's not waste taxpayer money by housing and feeding the creep."
God the Father, after you sin:
"I'm gonna try that dirtbag IK for all the sins He has committed against me."
IK: Well, uh, urrrrrrr, wait a minute, you see....
"liberal cry baby scum"-IK
Impressive fighting words. Quite "Rambo"esque, but quite irrelevant, and not reflective of the spirit of Christ. I stay on topic, and on your "argument:"
Put that "dirtbag" to death.
I say, forgive him, preach the gospel of Christ to him, pray for him, as you were once a "dirtbag," and offended God day and night.
Ephesians 4:32 KJV
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
You/we are to forgive him, on this basis:
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you
Understood?
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Now, answer:
What if the LORD God had taken that attitude towards you, IK, and let you be beaten, mocked, spit upon, crucified, be "put..in front of the firing squad,"...instead of His Only Begotten Son? Was He not "put..in front of the firing squad" for you, for all of us? Are you, any of us, ready to face a firing squad for all of our offences(it's called "sin"), since all sin is ultimately directed towards Him, against a holy LORD God? Well? Were you not once a "dirt bag?"
