Let's say you're down 69-70 in a basketball game. There is .6 seconds left on the clock. You inbound the ball and your teammate hits a shot making it 71-70. The buzzer sounds. That team that lost can't argue that it was only 1 point and should be overturned... Hilariously enough, I think a mentally disabled person is more likely to be able to score 69 points in a basketball game than they are to understand a life insurance policy, plot, and execute a murder. Very true. There was a kid with down syndrome at my old school and he was amazing at basketball. He could hit a shot from almost anywhere on the court. |

She was executed over 1 point in her IQ. You're arguing that she should not have been executed over 1 IQ point. And as for the "She had people who cared about her too" statement. Yeah, I'm sure she did. But once it came out that she was guilty of her crimes, I'm sure their stance was that whatever punishment she had coming to her, she brought upon herself. I can tell you, my family surely cares alot about me. But if I kill someone, they'd all be of the mindset that whatever punishment is handed down, I deserve every bit of it. And I'm fairly sure your family would be the same way. |

Because killing someone is totally different than something pointless like basketball. Saving a life is more important than a basketball game.

That is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard. The most ridiculous argument made in this thread is that a woman who plotted a murder to collect life insurance is mentally disabled and thus should not be executed. Preposterous. The basketball comparison is less ridiculous than that. |

Was she thinking about how important it was to save a life while her husband too a shotgun to the face or was she thinking about it while she waited 45 mins to call anyone? |

I think she deserved to die as well. Someone who cares so little about the lives of two people that were so close to them, doesn't deserve the blessing of life. |

somehow i don't think that fits with your religion to judge and condemn like that.
seriously, it baffles me how all of you justify murder. yes, she did an unforgivable and terrible act, this is not up for debate - but to kill those who kill? c'mon.

I didn't condemn anyone. We've been over this before. If we're speaking in terms of my religion, only God can condemn anyone. I said that I BELIEVE that she deserved to die. It's not murder. What she organized was murder. What happened to her was justice. The Bible speaks of obeying the law and repecting those who are appointed to enforce it.
Romans 13:1-5 (King James Version)
Romans 13
1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. |

either way, i really think that's bending it.
i simply don't see it as justice to murder her. i look at any that support such a notion as just as low a level as she, and laugh at the idea of a god supporting it.

Meh, believe and laugh at what you will. People paint God as this big beautiful smile in the sky, forgetting the fact that he's a just God as well. How messed up is it really? That someone shows such total disregaurd for human life, their right to live is taken away. How does that make me low? I didn't hire someone to shoot her in the face. You reep what you sow dude. I'm also finding it funny how you can laugh at my religion like it's nothing, but when someone talks down on smoking weed, you're all over them like you've never made fun of another's lifestyle. |

i wasn't talking specifically to you. i just said my general thoughts and you respond, this is the third example of that.
and it's the fact that someone believes their thought is of such a high level that they have power over another's life to the degree of being able to take it that's not good. NO ONE has that power, and it's playing god in my opinion.
and lastly, it all depends on the validity of people's claims about marijuana in terms of my reaction. if someone is gonna try to say about garbage, i'm gonna say something about it. look through past religious threads, and you'll find i battle nonbelievers that say absolute ignorant trash just as much as i have battled you.

It's not stooping to her level! It's upholding a little thing called THE LAW! If you break the law, you DESERVE punishment. If you first hand take another's life from them, or organize to have someone's life taken from them, why do you deserve a life of your own? k5 wanted to argue the playing God card...she played God when she decided that her husband and step-son didn't need to live any longer. So the state of Virginia took her game and threw it back at her. And they're the bad guys?! Please. |

It gives the option of death as punishment. I agree that she deserves some type of punishment, but not death. Should we rape those who rape? |

Please. you're right, and she should definitely be punished. but to murder her, no matter what you say, is no better than what she did. the fact that you give your government the right to kill your fellow man if he doesn't follow the rules truly disturbs me. |
