[The death penalty is good for the environment]
"So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel." ( vs. 33-34)
Did you see that? God said that the land is POLLUTED and DEFILED when killers go free. In God's word, environmental pollution is associated with SIN, not carbon monoxide and lead poisoning. The best way to clean up America is JUSTICE. Justice will teach people to respect the law once again and to fear God. If that happens, maybe more people will repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Nothing could help our environment more.

Wow, a tree hugging fundie... I think that's a new one! Oh, btw, this passage is talking battle and killing on the Holy Land, not driving SUVs... dipshit.
So he thinks that that verse is really talking about pollution? What a moron. The Hebrew word is chaneph , and means godless, defiled, or profane. God is speaking directly to Israel, and was a command not to leave the religion of Judaism. It has nothing to do with letting convicted murderers live or die, and certainly has nothing to do with pollution. Christians are getting dumber and dumber. It's a good think I left in time.
Edit: I wonder if they think that all the references in the OT to "aliens" is actually talking about beings from another planet? It be funny to find out.

And yet, some gay guy gets beaten to death, and suddenly this line is forgotten...

This is what a fairy tale looks like. I have no idea why you guys don't see it.
Reread Numbers 35. It's talking about the rules for the treatment of people who kill other people, whether by accident or on purpose. It defines when it is, and is not, legal for the victim's family to exact revenge. It doesn't say "the land is polluted and defiled when killers go free". It says the land is polluted and defiled when a killer is revenge-killed in defiance of the elaborate rules set forth in Num. 35.
"Bible Believers" should be changed to "Bible Cherry-Pickers".

You could've just submitted this sentence alone and I still would've given it a 5.

Oh, good. Wanna come over and sand my 104 year old house siding and take the asbestos insulation off my steam pipes? Unless you're a sinner, I'm sure you won't charge me as much as the pros, and you won't even need the respirator and hazmat suit. Hose everything off when you're done (the lead and asbestos is harmless after it's washed into the soil).
Just don't ask me to pay for your lung scan or mesothelioma treatment.
It's nice to think that all criminals are evil, and can't change so we should just kill 'em, but the problems are twofold - how do we decide that they're hopeless cases beyond rehabilitation, and how do we avoid executing innocent people? The latter's happened before, disturbingly often. A system where even one person who ends up on death row may die while guiltless of the crimes they're accused of is simply broken.
God said that the land is POLLUTED and DEFILED when killers go free. ... The best way to clean up America is JUSTICE. Justice will teach people to respect the law once again ...
So we agree, that murderous missing link in the White House needs to visit The Hague.
I thought killing was okay as long as god okayed it?
Nothing could help our environment more.
Except for, recycling and driving better cars.
Funny, I read it as a passage agianst ruining the land, as in taking care of the thing, instead of trashing the place.
...and of course, the land is not POLLUTED nor DEFILED when we go drilling for oil or let those factories spew waste into the environment.
Not at all.
Because the Bible says pollution is all about sin.
Hey, James Lost Melon, did you eat paint chips as a kid or something? Just wondering...
So why does god let Murderers, rapists, thieves and other such criminals if they believe in a loving magic sky pixie as opposed to one that's a total goddamn asshole in the sky that shits on everyone? If he/she/it exists in the first place.
Do they have to filter everything they believe through the Bible? Can't they just say "this is what I believe"? Are they afraid of being considered rebellious by their fundie peers if they have free thoughts?
His idiocy is enhanced by the fact that if he'd read the Bible, he'd know that it was in favor of death sentence in the first place, removing the need to shoehorn a completely irrelevant passage! Geezus.
Well, much as his 'pollution is caused by sin-powered magic!' thing is hilarious. It might not be such a bad idea to cull humanity a bit.
In parks if a certain lifeform has no natural predators and breeds in abundance threathening to destroy all the food in a park, bring diseases etc. Humans shoot a few. But the most destructive species of all, humanity itself still breeds like rabbits and increasingly destroys and depletes the planet.
I say cull humanity. But of course it'd be sad if innocent people where culled. So instead expand the death-penalty to any crime that victimizes someone else, and remove all appeals. Also, tie knots in the uterusses and spermducts of anyone who doesn't have an IQ of at least a 110 or so. (Ought to include the brunt of fundiedom.)
It'd do the world alot of good, and since humanity lives on this world, its good for humanity too. And since the executed people will be criminals who victimize people and the ones no longer allowed to breed would have only passed on the most deficient genetic material, no harm would be done... Quite the contrary! If we'd be lucky some of the worst traits would be weeded out of humanity!
@Mick: That would remove the aggressive traits from humanity; unfortunately those same traits that cause violence also cause competition, and thus much of human advancement. Also, we'd need them if civilization ever collapsed. Eugenics is a hideously tricky thing - so many things have to be taken into account.
@Fera: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-OW!
What a typically violent fundie.
"It's not the massive industrial pollution that's wrecking our environment - no, it's that we're not executing enough poor people! Praise Jeebus!"
Some people will go to the extreme in order to justify their own desire to kill people and to do so legally.
It's already almost at this point in USA due to the weapon laws and what consequences are attached to using it against other humans. And putting people in prison for the rest of their natural life and where the only way out of prison, is in a casket, is a death penalty.
Not with the help of my NEW and IMPROVED SIN-AWAY! JUST A SPRAY, A PRAY, AND YOUR SIN is WASHED AWAY!
It's going to take more than the killing of criminals to fix this planet. For starters, assholes like you who think the earth was put here for us to "reap" are fucking up the enviroment worse than any other group!
This fundy is confouding two
diferent meenings of the word "pollute". One is metiphoric or spritual. The other one in the modern world meens to contamanate envrnment with harmfull substances.
Fundies do this word thing all the time.
I call it hyperlieralisim.
Have you never noticed that fundies call out many things that the corprate world want. ? Ex:
The corprate word does not want to deal with global warming because it will cut into reveneues.
The same with envronmental regulations.
They want republicans in office because they pander to the corprate world
Fundys are vehement global warming denialisim advocates and believe conspiricy theorys and say that global warming is satanic.
They believe that envromentalisim isearth worship which is partvof witchcraft wich is satanisim
Recently preachers have tols there congregation that if they vote democrat they will go to hell!l
It seemsthat the corprate world/republicans controll these people to their own ends. Has anyone else noticed this is?
If gays, molesters and murderers be put into the same sack. Sinners all over the world stop engaging into gangbanging, groupals and casual sex the Earth... is the Earth going to get colder by miraculous CO2 trapping?
So if hermaphrodites be forced into not having a sex change operation, aluminum poisoning (what's causing Alzheimer) is going to decrease by 0.3%, right??? Or is it less people into this percentage account? I'm trying to go dumber here so I level with this stupidity.
The US already has the largest prison population on the planet. What are you going to do if you have even more prisoners; make whole cities into prisons?
The Bible is fine with a lot of things that are against the law, and pretty harsh against other things that are not against the law.
For example:
Rape - fine with the Bible, as long as you pay the father of the rape-victim, and marry her
Child molestations - the Bible doesn't care
Being an unruly child - death penalty
Not being a virgin on your wedding night (only for women) - death penalty
Touching a menstruating woman - become unclean for the rest of the day
"So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel." ( vs. 33-34)
Did you see that? God said that the land is POLLUTED and DEFILED when killers go free."
Essentially the whole of the Old Testament.
(*Black Cap with the words 'You FAIL' on such is placed on head *)
This court finds your 'God' guilty of Crimes Against Humanity. He is sentenced to eternal torture via increasing dis belief as the civilised world becomes more and more secular . And may the real Trinity that is Princess Celestia, Haruhi Suzumiya and Bettie Page have mercy on his non-existent soul.
Court is adjourned.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
