in fact, i happen to know quite a few protestants who in the name of jesus and an odd tradition of what is and is not "american" advocate the death penalty for minors and the mentally disabled. oh, and lets not forget the protestant groups who support, in the name of jesus, state sanctioned torture!

Now you’re confusing religious traditions with seedtime & harvest. God is the one who setup civil government to execute wrath upon evil doer (see Romans 13:4) as a deterent to keep crime in check.

Torture? Let’s see here…muzlim terrorists cut people’s heads off and all we do is play loud music, have dogs barking at them, and we don’t let them sleep….ALL in an attempt to get information that will save lives. We have every right to do this, as this is a very low level of "torture" as you call it.

Besides, whyo side are you on anyway? Like to see evil be treated properly? Read your Bible! God is known to order the destruction of those that do evil! Evil is not to be put up with, and thank God most people don’t think like you or we would all be bowing down to that demon they call allah or face getting our heads chopped off!

death penalty for minors? So, someone who is younger than 18 is supposed to be exempt from reaping what they sow? Get real! If they don’t want to do the time, then they shouldn’t do the crime. If we have no deterent, crime would be alot worse than it is now! God advocates the death penalty, and so do I!

when did practicing spiritual self-discipline become wrong?

When catholics teach that God only expects them to do this once a year, and their good to go!
