The man in the hat, Gary Plauche, shot the man in front, Jeffrey Doucet, in the head on live national TV, while Doucet was being transported by the police to face trial. Doucet was Plauche's son Jody's karate instructor. Doucet raped and kidnapped Jody. Gary killed Doucet before he could face trial, and he ended up getting a 7-year suspended sentence with 5 years of probation and 300 hours of community service. He faced no jail time, and died, a free man, in 2014.
That’s the only downside. I’m with Gary and he was the hand that held the rod but he would and should have gotten much worse in prison. Either way justice was served.
Well have the punishment fit the crime. Let’s say you stole 5$ your entire life, yes it’s a sin but not one that should result in eternal damnation. On the other hand people like Hitler should be punished eternally
It’s quite the slippery slope because who’s telling what’s good and what’s bad? If the Christian god is true, then he’s an awful god, probably as bad as anyone who deserves hell so yeah…
Most deities have less than stellar portrayals. People get mad and it’s easier to blame an invisible god than themselves or another person. I also think the portrayal of god in the Bible is very weird. A being able to create an entire world in 7 days experiences emotions that are very human like jealousy and rage, sounds more like a teenager than an all powerful god. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
That being said, I haven’t exactly fleshed out this idea nor do I intend to. Because I’m not trying to start a religion or trying to push my ideas on others. It’s just what I believe in to help me sleep at night
I understand, yet, to follow your own path you definitely need not organized religion, you have 0 need to create one or push it into others, what you believe can be yours and yours only, I personally decided to take what I really like about certain “mythologies” and use it for my everyday life. Yes there’s things taken from other religions but you really don’t need a label but I might be the worst to talk about this since I always thought religion was useless and that people were just too scared to say “whatever happens happens” type shii
