Jury debates over Scott Peterson’s fate…

I'm willing to bet money he'll get the death penalty. And when/if he does, i sure as hell won't be bitching about it.

So God is commanding us to kill Jesus?

who did Jesus kill???

I'm just pointing out that metaphorically speaking Jesus is in all of us. (If you believe in all this, sorry to any opposing religions or Atheists)

Jesus is in those who are christians....

Ah, so now we discriminate against people not in our religion? Isn't God supposed to love us all?

yes, and he offers jesus into the hearts of those who want him.. its up to THEM to accept it, however 😉

Now that we've establish that Christians discriminate, how is killing a killer diffrent from the killer killing?

"we've" established? Umm.... where was it that i said christians discriminate? I love the way YOU assume something, find a hint that it might possibly be implied (when it was in no way), and decide to use it as the basis of your arguement. And there is a big difference between murder and killing. Murder is with evil intent,etc. Killing isnt.

Fine, then let me ask you once more, does God love everyone or not? If not, then we discriminate in the sense that we claim God does not love them.

So killing is okay? If I killed someone because I thought he/she was living a miserable life, it would be okay since the intent was not evil?

I wish they would make up there mind aready,I finally gave up after it keeps on going on yet another day.Make up your dession Judge!JM

i already said that god loves everyone. Hence there is no discrimination. and though the government may say it is wrong, i for one am 100% for assissted suicide, as long as there is proof that the person wished to die by the killer.

It doesn't matter what the bible says.. this is a legal matter not a religious one.

i know, i wasn't the one to bring up the bible... somebody else said that he shouldnt be killed because "christians" dont believe in the death penalty, and i pointed out that God tells christians to enforce the death penalty.

Well if that's true that sounds rather hypocritical to me. "Thou shall not kill.. and if someone does kill.. then kill them."

I brought up the fact that Christians for the death penalty are, as said, hypocritical.

as i've said before, murder and killing are 2 different things. In the original text, the "thou shalt not kill" was the "kill" as in murder, whereas the punishment was simply "put to death".

did they decide his fate yet???

I mean is he getting life or death-- I think he will get just life -- if they havent decided it already

i think he only deserves life. Because the state he's being tried in allows abortions (no, lets not debate abortion here...) IF the state was to outlaw abortion, then i would consider it a double-murder, and he should get death, but since abortion is legal, i believe it should only be considered a single murder, and he should get life.

EDIT: in this case, it isnt a matter of morality with me, but the state needs to decide whether killing (removing, etc) a fetus is actually killing it or not, it can not be considered one in situation A, but the other in situation B. Either abortion is murder, and killing a preg woman is double, or abortion is not murder, and killing a preg woman is single.
