Wow, another sad day for those of us in the U.S. as the five liberal leaning members of the Supreme Court continue to make bad decisions. This time they ruled that States cannot sentence child rapists to death. I love children and think that special rules should actually apply to those monsters who rape or harm children and am very disappointed by this ruling that may have made some of these beasts pause before acting. I don’t know if it is just urban legend or not, but I understand that child rapists are targets in prison so this may not actually make much difference.
Even though I am a Christian man, I have to tell you it would be extremely difficult for me to control myself if anyone touched or harmed my wife or three daughters. Death may actually be a better option than being raped by a monster because at least you are then immediately in Heaven, rather than having to live out your life with the mental, and maybe physical, damage caused by these demons. I am very emotional about protecting our children and probably shouldn’t say anymore here on this issue as it just gets me fired up.

Man. I wish this one had gone the other way. >_<

You use terms like ‘monster’ and ‘beast’ to dehumanise these individuals. They are Gods children too and God loves us all, no matter what we do – we all fall short of the glory of God.
Remember that Gods own wrath will be upon those that harm children – “It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
Rather than clamouring for society to take revenge, remember that God is the ultimate judge and his wrath is not to be messed with – we should be praying for Gods leniency.

Very true statements Victor. It is tough for me in any situation with children to focus on the fact that these people are God’s children too.
However, can’t we also get angry and stand up for what is right as well? I am not sure if God intended for us to roll over and be passive and loving to all.
