Should homosexuals be given the death penalty?

I think there are a lot of newer folks who'd missed this poll and discussion about whether or not homosexuals should be given the death penalty.

I see this thread still gets bumped once in a while. It always reminds me how shocked I was all those years ago when I started this thread at the number of yes votes.

Edit: I still am shocked. :sigh:

Yeah, and almost 1/4 of them support executing homosexuals.

Reading through the names one has to have been on TOL for quite a while to recognise some of them. Lots of old names there.

What I find interesting is that there are some surprises on both answers. Some I thought would say no said yes, and some that I thought would say yes said no.

Should homosexuals be given the death penalty?

no

they have to earn it, just like everybody else

:mock:homos, expecting special treatment

Should homosexuals be given the death penalty?



If so, why so? If not, why not?

No

The difference between Muhammad and Yeshua is that the followers of Muhammad can truthfully say that they are executing homos according to the writings of Muhammad.

Those who have been guilty of executing people in the name of Yeshua have no scriptural support.

OP - Should homosexuals be given the death penalty?

This is seriously a question? If you voted yes then get on the next plane to Saudi Arabia

 

[Rusha]

Unfortunately it IS a serious question.

 

[TracerBullet]

I have to wonder if all of those who voted yes here would be willing to commit the actual murders that they are calling for

I don't see them calling for adulterers to be executed

Well, this type of thinking isn't really something to lose much sleep over.

legal executions for capital offenses =/= murder

retard

Actually you'll find a lot of the same folk supporting that as well...

Do they realize that there is a place where all of their wildest legal fantasies come true? And it's just over the Atlantic

ireland? :freak:

 

[lovemeorhateme]

Would these same people call for the execution of their rebellious children I wonder? :think:

The conditions under which that law would be enforced required several things:

1. Considering the references to drunkenness, it is unlikely that we're dealing with a young child here. Most likely a teenager at the least.

2. The law is only supposed to be in place when the parents are unable to bring the children to repentence without involving the civil magistrate. Basically, all options have been used up except that one. Presumably this would include warning the son that he could face such a penalty if he continues in rebellion.

With those caveats, yes I would. But those are caveats that are pretty much never discussed in these discussions.
