Nothing says prolife like a little killing.

The legal system is flawed. The state should never be allowed to kill because the legal system can be wrong. Anyone who doesn't understand that needs to learn the lesson quickly.

Ergo, anyone who supports the state murdering people should be murdered by the state.

Wait… if you believe people who believe the state should be murdering people should be murdered by the state, doesn’t that mean you also believe the state should be murdering people? 🧐

It's the tolerance paradox. Plus or minus some murder.

Can we just exile them to an island in the Pacific Garbage Patch? (one of the garbagebergs, perhaps?)

I'm not sure if I understood: "Abortionists should be murdered"

Is that the point you're trying to make?

I could be entirely wrong, if so, could you please restate more clearly?

The world must learn of our peaceful ways... by force!

[–] Yliaster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Oh, you just summarized america in a sentence.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope, other way around.

The state should never murder anyone. That's the whole point.

[–] Yliaster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Gotcha.

But why just the state specifically? Isn't murder just... bad regardless of who's doing it?

Gilead is coming. That's not hyperbole.

Do Christians not read their Bible?

Jesus's condemnation of the death penalty is one of the best known stories in the Gospels.

Reinstating medieval "Christian" "sharia", is all.

( misogyny as the "gateway drug" of fascism )

As the Christian bible's Alpha & Omega would say, given the evidence in their Rev book: "those who call themselves Christian, but are not".

9 “I know how you are suffering and how poor you are (though in fact you are rich!), and I know the insults of those who call themselves Jews but aren’t — on the contrary, they are a synagogue of the Adversary."

from https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+2%3A9&version=CJB

The label "Jews" was appropriate in biblical-times ( & now, in Netanyahu's "Israel", which Jeremiah & Isaiah both identify as .. likely to be torched by their-G-D ), but now we have to use the label "Christians", as well: times have changed.

Rub their noses in their own bible, not that it'll make ANY difference:

people with ideology & without integrity won't accept any evidence contradicting their unfalsifiable-belief/axioms, as has always been true.
