Do you feel they are sinning when they sentence an evil doer to life in prison? There is only ONE judge, his judgments are right and true.
Well, I don't believe in "sin", I do believe some acts are immoral.

I also don't agree with the death penalty, as the death penalty is murder. I do agree with life in prison (isolation if need be) to prevent the murderer from murdering again.

I think we've been down this road before. My mindset is, if someone is willing to give out a punishment without giving the reason for the punishment, the punishment is unjust. From what I've read, God punishes immoral acts, but in many cases does not define the reason for the immorality.

I hope you can see why myself, and many others, cannot put faith into the bible. I disagree with many of the messages, and there are no ways to reconcile these disagreements. If someone were to make demands upon me the way that the Bible does (ie goverment) I'd question their motives. Why should I make an exception for the Bible? It doesn't make sense to.

Always fun talking to you
