Gotta agree w/ you on this one Jacob. If a country is going to be against the death penalty, it should at least stand up for it.

This brings up the delicious irony of the religious right.

You cannot abort a 16-cell fetus because that would be killing, yet the death penalty is endorsed, especially for homosexuals.

Prove a 16-cell fetus isn’t alive. Don’t want to rehash the arguement (but I would!), so see the comment section on the podcast about sex if you want to see the dialogue.

Not all religious people endorse the death penalty, there’s a lot of debate about it, and being homosexual isn’t against the law, so why would a religious person want them put to death. If God wanted every person who sinned put to death immediately, there’d be a really long line (”For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). I think the point that is trying to be made is that the law in canada is not being upheld. If canada wants to not have the death penalty, it should stand up when one of its citizens is put to it.

This story is insane. How could your government sit aside while this young man waits to die? I can’t understand it. I guess if it weren’t for the fact that he is stuck in an Islamic country, he would be on his way home. It is sad that we here on this side of the earth are very afraid of Islam, so we will not even try to negotiate with them. For that, innocent people get harmed or die.

Also, I thought you all would find this interesting. This is a story of an 11 year old girl in Wiscoinsin who had Diabetes. Instead of taking her to the hospital, her parents decided to pray for healing. Well, unfortunately, the young girl died.

We should all send PM Harper tiny novelty guillitines. Or maybe swizzle-stick swords. With little notes saying something like, “Enjoy your Canada, complete with proxy executions!”

Steve Harper is an ass.

Ben first of all a one cell organism is alive. So it doesn’t matter if it’s 16 cells or 16 million.

Second animals are living, why do people kill them… for food. And I bet your no vegetarian.

And if you are vegetarian, well plants and trees, etc. are all also living creatures, so basically killing them should also be “immoral” in your view. But why kill them? So we can live, for food.
