Well what if 1 in 10 people are innocent, are we supposed to just let the other 9 off?

That being said, forgiveness is a personal decision and not a decision found in any court.


Forgiveness can be synonymous with leniency in this case. Prisoners complaining because they can't have the latest model of Playstation isn't justice.


Forgiveness isn't synonymous with leniency, which is where the confusion came in.

Why cant they prove it? And how do you know they are real if its not proven? If you know its real surely how you got to that conclusion can be used to prove it. Otherwise the belief is based on nothing worth believing. So to call it a truth is well far from the truth.
Sorry slightly off topic but needed to be said considering a lot of posts in this thread about souls etc


You will find your stupid science-based gun firing squad is rather puny compared to my faith-based weapons!


I'd argue that faith can be stronger than weapons - including the faith people have in leaders, others, the economy, the justice system, etc... ;)


i dont think faith can stop a bullet :L hahahaha

however some people mistake hope for faith ;)


May not stop a bullet, but faith in leadership often causes those bullets to fly. Faith in whatever is also a popular motive for the actions of the shooter as well. So, yeah, I'd still say that faith is stronger than any weapon, particularly since someone can still kill someone due to whatever movement/religion/government they believe in without a weapon.

Hope for a greater future is often linked to faith in whatever (like a government) providing the means to get there. This can be observed when observing the supporters for really any movement.

In any case, this is getting off topic. I just felt like joining in with the laughter.

Did you know beheading someone kills their soul?




^so many things science can't prove are very real, scary truth.


Why cant they prove it? And how do you know they are real if its not proven? If you know its real surely how you got to that conclusion can be used to prove it. Otherwise the belief is based on nothing worth believing. So to call it a truth is well far from the truth.

science deems us spiritual people as crazy/delusional, i won't lie some people fake their gifts, yet science can only really prove things if you compare things to each other or do tests.

If science was flawless, we would still be using horse and buggy as removing oil from earth removes a cooling barrier for earth.....shh don't tell anyone that secret of mine ;)

^i know every method the world can end sadly. prevention is key. i'm sure the above is minor but i'm not a scientist....

^they can't prove souls/spirits etc are real either, I just randomly know things, unless i stole peoples memories form over 1k years ago, past lives are real.

FYI, many problems in this world go unnoticed as people were designed to fail, good and bad people are placed, bad events happen to balance life, just like covid 19 is a test. <--also delayed WW3, who lost a critical space station part?

^I know a lot of things before they can happen but i'm not 100% correct all the time, only decode the results to who is gaining a massive control pillar. ;)

^now do you see what is going on currently world wide?, one issue knocked out 3. World is odd in how it teaches us things.

sorry if off topic just answering in full but not full detail as it would get out of hand, it's cryptic in what i meant above.

The Inmate on death row has a choice between electrocution (by default) or lethal injection (by choice). The reason some states are reverting back to the firing squad is because the Pharmaceuticals who manufacture the anesthetic that puts the person being executed by lethal injection into a deep sleep is refusing to sell the drug for the purpose of execution. Europe is refusing export of the medication.

Personally, I think the penalty system in the US needs to be revamped. Our prisons are too over crowded and instead of investigating the reason why, we just build more prisons.

I'm against the death penalty. We are not empowered by God (or any other Higher Power) to take the life of another Human Being. However, I accept it only because I know of no other way. Some Countries that do not recognize the death penalty will keep an Inmate for a period of years (15 to 25 years depending on the crime) and then release into the Community. I'm not sure that's the answer either. Some hardened criminals cannot be properly socialized and will repeat the crime(s) over and over.

Several years ago, I watched 2 movies (names evade me at the moment) where the penal system was on another planet. In one movie, there were guards whose job was to insure the inmates didn't kill each other. In the other movie, there were no guards, no cells. Prisoners were literally dumped onto the Penal Planet and left to fend for themselves. In both movies, ships arrived to dump crates of food and supplies on the surface of the planet. In the first movie, the guards collected the crates. In the second movie, the prisoners fought over them.

I can definitely see this happening in the future and probably sooner than we think.

Personally, I reject all spirits.

We know there are evil spirits.

The "good spirits" like "team spirit" require assimilation.

The word "spirit" has possessed many words... including soul. It seems some people have exchanged their soul for a spirit.

People don't "exist in the presence of God" any more, they "bask and meditate in the spirit realm".

In the same way I stopped using "And" and "But" and "Then" at the start of sentences, I haven't felt better since rejecting "spirit" in its entirety.

I pray to the holy ghost.
Dear God, please send the competition, feels like there ain't any.
I long lost count of the victories, there were just far too many.
