was not Cain sent away?
First off, I thought you payed no heed to the Old Testament. So what does it matter what Cain did?
Second, how is this anything like imprisonment? This is not imprisonment, it is banishment. Should criminals today be banished?
Why are you this dead-set against killing, claiming that Jesus never taught self-defense, and yet you accept imprisonment as a punishment? Show me where Jesus said "lock up all the murderers instead of killing them."
good question, are there countries that dont allow there cops to carry guns?
But they carry
something! Be it a billy club, mag-lite, taser, or pepper-spray, they carry something as a criminal deterent. I don't know why you are thinking that there are other countries where the police just walk around and
talk polite to the bad guys. Even without guns, police are still known to kick butt.
So do you also believe that one who "lives by the pepper-spray shall die by the pepper-spray"?
