Because you were the one questioning whether Couey killed anyone.
but reality is what it is, and doesn't care what we may prefer.
What makes you think Hell isn't real?
Get real.
Firstly, there's no question he killed someone as I define 'kill' and 'death.' (It's beyond any reasonable doubt, which is the legal and appropriate standard.)
Secondly, the question I posed was not about my view of the world, but about yours.
And thirdly, my question was a rhetorical device meant to illustrate the inconsistency with your own beliefs behind your statment to GraniteStateConservative in post #129, namely "We're all sentenced to death. If that's all there is, he got away with it." You religionists like to dishonenstly use the term 'death' with two different meanings: biological death versus the fate of the soul after biological death. Based on the biblical principle "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," one biological death is the appropriate punishment for another.
