Yeah I’m not forgiving.

I’m an eye for an eye. You murder my family unprovoked , I hope you burn in the hottest parts of hell

Biblically the claim is ridiculous.
biblically Jesus forgave everyone, including the guilty - there are no explicit examples - the adulterous woman comes to mind but St Paul did partake in the killing and torturing of Christians before his conversion

The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

We are not God - so we have no right to say when life begins - only He does - or when life ends.

So people who kill should rot in jail.

you mean hiring them as a hit man? I would put them on hormones as that seems to make it easier

You could also run them over with a car and say you just blacked out and don’t remember anything.

Unfortunately all killers don’t get 2nd degree murder and they aren’t all in Louisiana

A guy up for less than 2nd degree wouldn't be getting the death penalty anyway in Louisiana. IDK about other states.

He was up for parole and my family members were asked to fill out a document recommending either parole or imprisonment. We all recommended imprisonment.

I don’t even need to read this thread to know the responses… they’re all some form of “I’d kill that sob myself with my bare hands” and other displays of internet toughness.

I would go tactical on the 10 most important people in the killer's life.... and let him or her wonder when the toll collecter would come calling for them.

You’re mixing up two different things. Personal forgiveness and civil justice aren’t the same. Neither are eternal judgment and earthly punishment.

Jesus tells us as individuals to forgive and let God handle vengeance. Eternal forgiveness or condemnation is God’s call alone. But that doesn’t cancel out the government’s God-given authority to punish evil here on earth. Those are separate categories.

Catholics sincerely oppose both abortion and the death penalty because they believe in the sanctity of life.

Except they can vote however they want, even when funding groups that support abortion, FGM, trannyism, and all sorts of other stuff because because welfare is more important:
quote:

The bishops explain that no Catholic can vote for a candidate who supports an intrinsic evil like abortion or racism if that evil is the reason the person is voting. In other words, you can’t intend to support abortion or racism through your vote. However, the bishops go on to say that:

There may be times when a Catholic who rejects a candidate’s unacceptable position may decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons. Voting in this way would be permissible only for truly grave reasons, not to advance narrow interests or partisan preferences or to ignore a fundamental moral evil.

Therefore, a Catholic can vote for a candidate who is in favor of an intrinsic evil—think abortion or physical or mental torture—if despite that position there are other “morally grave reasons” that outweigh the intrinsic evil.


Welfare and supporting mass illegal immigration is not "morally grave" but Catholics sure seemed to love Kamala, to the tune of 43%.

No, I want them to release them to me no questions asked and I’d take it from there.

I think anyone unquestionably guilty of murder deserves the death penalty regardless of whether or not I am related to the victim.

And it should be done quickly.
