Now It's Student Led Prayer at Football Games

Kangaroo Feathers

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
Christians stopped beheading people. They just use drones now.
The last state beheading by a predominantly Christian country I can find is 1977. Of course, other forms of execution proceed apace, but it's nice to be able to accuse Muslims of barbarism for using a method we don't.

Don't mention electric chairs and gas chambers, though.

Let"s also not mention death penalty worthy crimes:
Is there a death penalty in Western countries for apostasy or blasphemy against Christianity or any other religion?

Muslim Majority countries where the death penalty can be given for apostasy (turning away from Islam)
Afghanistan, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar,Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, UAE and as an added bonus, you can also get the death penalty in Pakistan for blasphemy against Islam.
See the difference?

It hurts to see how we have not gotten more civilized, we just do more impersonal hostility, like the J-Dam bombs.

Absolutely, because far too many believe they have a moral imperative to bring America in line with their religious beliefs, and they don't care whose rights they step on. I honestly believe most would be pleased as punch if Christianity became the state religion.

.

Actually, it is other people who are stepping on the rights of people of faith.

The difference is we won't punch.

Fortunately, the secularists have stopped them from lynching and such.
But it's been quite recently. Around the 40s.

I'm not sure the secularists stopped them... I think they were true Christians who stopped those who were in name only.

Which is one reason why I oppose the death penalty.

How so?

Tell that to Jessica Ahlquist.

Better yet, tell that to the cops who had to escort her to school because of the threats she was getting from Christians:

The ruling has prompted an angry backlash from residents. Ahlquist has received death threats and has even been criticized by her own state representative, Peter Palumbo.

"What an evil little thing. Poor thing," he told local talk radio station WPRO. "And it's not her fault. She's being ... trained to be like that."

[...]

Ahlquist had a police officer escorting her to class for a time, but requested the detail be called off when she felt it was only adding to the public scrutiny.
