South Dakota Execution

what regulates morals then?

"Whosoever sheddeth a man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed" -Genesis

the Church has consistently taken that to mean that if one murders another man, in that act of murder they give up their own right to live as well. that is what it meant to the people who wrote the scriptures, that is what it has meant to the people who have read the scriptures in the Jewish and Christian ages for so many millenia, and that is what God himself teaches. therefore it is doctrine, it is moral law.

tell me, do your emotions regulate your morals? if not, what does regulate your morals?

[catholicinsd]

God, the Father of us all, regulates morals

and how do we get these morals if not through the bible and catechism?

Well, if God wanted Eli dead, He'd do something about it.

With that attitude we don't have to do anything. If God wants an end to abortion, He'll do something.

He is accepting it only because the State has broken him severly, and caused him to be suicidal.

You have no proof of that, your emotionalism is showing again.

Maybe He is......

God often uses human agents to do His will, like Cyrus of Persia (I'll let you find the reference yourself, as I think it would be a good exercise for you to pick up a Bible and Catechism and actually read what it says instead of being led by emotional sloganeering).

And please knock off this "Dakota spirits" stuff. This is a Catholic board, not a Native American pagan board. To believe in such paganism is a sin against the 1st commandment.

in all fairness, he may have simply been trying to convey all those who have died and gone to heaven from the dakotas...

wierd/confusing wording, but I give him the benefit of the doubt till proven otherwise.

Well, if God wanted Hitler dead, He'd do something about it.

Well, if God wanted Stalin dead, He'd do something about it.

Well, if God wanted Osama bin Laden dead, He'd do something about it.

(Well, with Hitler and Stalin, I should clarify to mean dead before they ordered the murders of so many people.)
We should all just sit back and do nothing while murderers run rampant - after all, who are we to judge others?
