I promised the kids that if they work extra hard during harvest, we’d take a horse carriage into town and watch an execution.
Well, we did that, and especially my youngest son (5 winters old) was excited to see his first execution. And guess what?
All they did was just drop the guillotine blade on the thief, and that’s it. No screams, no splatter, just one quick chop and everyone heads home.
Guillotine? What, is stoning not good enough for people anymore?
Seems there aren’t enough people without sin these days.
I always wondered if that meant Jesus was okay with stoning people to death as long as he’s the one who starts it.
In “The Year of Living Biblically” Jacobs describes asking someone he had learned was an adulterer if he could stone them. He then proceeded to toss very small pebbles at them to make sure he was following the proscription from the Bible. Nobody was harmed.
While his majesty the king is dining with the finest spices, public services break asunder under his ruinous savings. He won’t even pay for a proper executioner anymore, he got replaced by a maschine any fool could handle!
You should have bought the VIP tickets if it was his first execution.
Because the death of a person is terrible and should not be celebrated no matter the circumstance? Because killing someone in a flashy way unavoidably glorifies it? It’s not a hard answer.
do you realise what community you’re in?
