In other words. runner, you're just going to believe what you want to believe and ignore anything that contradicts that.

What a surprise.

Dear runner,

Remember what Christ said when on the cross? -
"Father forgive them for they know not
what they do..." He did not say -
"Kill them for their crimes!"

Oh Foxy you should try a little harder not to take things out of context

'"Father forgive them for they know not what they do..." He did not say - "Kill them for their crimes!"

Of course Jesus asked forgiveness for His killers. He was innocent. To equate murderers, rapist and drug dealers with Christ is nothing short of blasphemy. The analogy you draw is deceitful and wrong.

no what it means is people like yourself turn a blind eye to what is very obvious. You go to extraordinary lengths to convince people that white is black and red is green. At least you are consistent with your pig headed blindness.

runner,

What is “obvious” and “common sense” to you is only obvious and common sense because it is based on incomplete and/or incorrect information. It was also once "obvious" that the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around it.

So my point still stands. You're just going to believe what you want to believe and ignore anything that contradicts that.

in my late teens I along with all my other foolish mates would get a skin full of grog and drive home. Then came random breath testing and the automatic disqualifying of ones drivers licence if caught. Some of my mates still decided to run the gauntlet. A number of others heeded the warnings knowing the consequences were not worth the risk. If people would give up drink driving with the threat of 3 months suspension how much would they give up dealing drugs with the threat of the death penalty. Not everyone would come to their senses but at least some would.

Dear runner,
