Killing for the "crimes" of homosexuality, adultery, and cursing of parents might each individually result in a death toll greater than we currently tolerate. Together, we'd probably lose more than half the population.
Woah. Rewind. Say again. Think. There you go.
How is being beaten to death with rocks by the members of your community a quick death? SToning isn't like David (supposedly) killing Goliath with a single rock, these people were pummeled to death with one pound rocks. That's kind of like being executed in an electric chair that is actually just a bug zapper.
"I believe the Bible overwhelmingly supports a swift death penalty for murder, rape, homosexuality, adultery, kidnapping, and yes, even unrepentant cursing of your parents."I don't believe the Bible says anything about the speed with which the death penalty should be enforced, nor can I remember any referrence to kidnapping, but he's right about the rest of it. That is what the Bible says.

No, when I work through it I find cruel and unjust draconian asshattery that has cost countless lives.
God gave the reason why women should not have authority in the church, because they are easier to deceive (see 1 Timothy 2:14).
It's not as if I needed more proof that the Bible is completely irrelevant in this day and age, being that it is filled with loads more of this type of horseshit. People like Fred Williams, who consider this pile of offal to be the inerrant Word of God(TM), should be legislated from running for, or holding, any kind of public office, where they would be in a position to draft legislation.
Countless lives?, killing virtually EVERYBODY(if we applied the curse of parents)?, besides, did Jesus condemned, what a coincidence, the adultress or Mary Magdalaine?, moreover, what did he say about that of children, WHO SHOULD NOT PAY FOR THEIR PARENTS SINS?

I love guys like this. He's right - the Bible is big on death penalties.
I believe the Bible overwhelmingly supports a swift death penalty for murder, rape, homosexuality, adultery, kidnapping, and yes, even unrepentant cursing of your parents. slow and painful death for murder, rape of a married woman or betrothed virgin, homosexuality, adultery, and disobeying orders given by your parents. I don't recall what it says about kidnapping. Rape of an unbetrothed virgin is not punished; the rapist is rewarded by being allowed to marry his victim, and must only pay a fee to her father. If a married woman or betrothed virgin is raped in the city and she doesn't (or can't) scream, then the victim is killed along with the rapist.

I must certainly agree here. Following the principles described in the Bible would likely wipe out humans very quickly, and thus save the lives of LIONS like me.

god wants to see everyone kill at least one of their immediate family members, for any fabricated reason, or just because. It all started with Abraham....
Killers are god's blessed little angels.
