To: Conservative Coulter Fan
Does he also use Leviticus to advocate the death penalty for children who curse their parents?

Trigger finger -- LOL...

I suggest you reread the article. The dummycrat is the one advocating 'killing' in an attempt to ridicule and disparage the Reublican for not being 'biblical' enough...

It is a typical leftist and or morally liberal argument to quote Leviticus to attempt to moral relatively legitimate or justify the immoral and or illegitimate...

Actually Jesus referred to that in the scriptures. Say what you will about the command, but it always gets misrepresented as one of "rebellious children" without going into detail. It is for "children" who are drunkards and beat their parents.

When read in context. These are not children at all. Children can't beat up their parents after drinking too much booze.

Chance are, many children who viciously curse their parents are also into antisocial behaviors, drugs, sexual license or homosexuality,crime, and wrathful violence.(or are core constituents of the left wing of the Democrats).

Seriously, children who will not respond to the discipline of their parents, probably will also be a societal head-ache as well. When Moses was in the wilderness, and the survival of the nation of Israel as an intact entity was in doubt, discipline was important to maintain. They couldn't afford to make moral and spiritual mistakes as God in those days would act swiftly to punish national trangressions as well as having to maintain vigilance in the face of ever present danger of attacks from hostile nations. A child who would not respond to discipline of his parents could very well effect the well being of his fellow tribe members well beyond his own family.

A child that is nasty to his parents is a good indication that he will be a PIA to society as well. That such a child could be put to death under the Mosaic code was an attempt to nip future sources of societal strife in the bud!

There it is ....brutal though it sounds, but logical!
