Xtians,DeathPenalty,Tookie

Got up a bit early this morning, like 7:30 early, and managed to surf out of my normal reading to a blog from the "other side", yeah the wingnut side.

Read this passage in the comments to this post and see if it doesn't make you want to dry heave with disgust and disbelief.

"As a saved Christian, I have no problem with the death penalty for convicted murderers. I have an enormous problem with unlaterally condemning to death infants in violation of the Fifth Ammendment of our Constitution. God warned us about a time when man would call good evil and evil good. We need to pay closer attention."

Someone please tell me what this means. It was in response to Tookie Williams being executed and how all liberals want to save him but also want to kill all unborn fetuses. Yes, yes, make an over-generalization and rally the troops.

I long ago stopped believing that Xtians truly practice what they believe. I've always thought in my own warped mind that the need to hang on to religious precept in order to *get thru* life and to make decisions based on what they believe was a sign of a weak mind or a dependent mind.

But that's a whole other conversation for another post another time.
