Law And Order
God seems to have created hell
conditions for rehabilitation: The thief on
the Cross who repented, by displaying
his humanity, Christ said that, this day
He would see him in heaven...but He
did not levitate that thief from the
Cross, preventing his suffering crucifixion.
If the last four years, in the US, trying to
survive under a lawless administration,
has taught us anything, it has taught us
that without just laws and consequences for breaking
them, there can be no healthy civilization. The Ten
Commandments are not merely suggestions.
Prisons are not primarily for rehabilitation --
beyond access to a bible with quiet space to pray --
we incarcerate not to punish...but to protect
innocence. We execute, not for revenge
nor out of hatred, but as a deterrent to those
who would commit murder were it not
for the fact that such an act would cause
their own brutal demise. Sometimes the only way
is to dispatch a degenerate fiend, send him before
God to plead his case, who has the ultimate power
to judge or forgive (beyond our mortal pay-scale).
Most of us, would be satisfied, with the power,
to just, safely live. 3 Strikes And You Are Out...
along with the Death Penalty, need to be
available punishments in all states. Then
a jury of peers will decide to the best of their
God loving, fearing ability, what the verdict
will be. We need to impeach political judges,
expose fake news, and vote out corrupt politicians.
Evil hides in plain sight, often having the
loudest voices to deceive. That is why evil
shouts down~ murders its adversaries. Silence,
imagining self above of it all, it not a moral option.
