[Uri’el-2012]

Why not just draw and quarter criminals, or burn them at the stake—practices Christianity has employed from occasionally in the past. I’m sure that would reduce crime as well.

That is a broad brush.

Perhaps the Roman "church" slaughtering innocents.

But I doubt it was done by followers of the Jewish Messiah.

I think you are right, for some, but there are many who at least belive they are “followers of the Jewish Messiah,” who, if given the opportunity would use it to persecute those who do not believe and practice as they believe. Case in point, abortion.

Personally, I believe abortion is wrong, but like many other wrongs, it is not my business or anyone else’s. There are many wrongs in this world that individuals inflict on themselves—they are all no one else’s business, No one’s children are anyone else’s business. If there is a God, does he not care for the children of abortion? Why would anyone that believes in God prefer children to be born to a life of torment and suffering at the hands of those who despise them and do not want them, rather than to be taken by God to paradise?
