Just look at this:
Le:24:16: And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.
Le:24:17: And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
Le:24:18: And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
Le:24:19: And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
Le:24:20: Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
Sometimes I am at a loss as to why this is permitted? The question that must surely be on everyone’s lips is, “Why can the Godless moon-worshipping Iranians carry out the True Law and Americans can’t?”
I cannot understand why Congress has not implemented God’s Word as law. Is it the work of closet atheists? I have never met anyone at Landover who says anything but good about Biblical punishment. Everyone agrees that it is so understandable. No years of legal study are required – the punishment is obvious!
What possible reason would there be to employ lawyers or have a judge when a Pastor could do the job? None! So, no clever lawyers, no lieberal judges, no loopholes, and no walking free on a technicality. And how long would a trial and just and Godly retribution take? An hour, a couple of minutes? None of these 6 month hearings, appeals and incessant pleas from Death Row.
Theocracy cannot come too soon. With the money saved, we could pay for the very best Christian Education in all our public schools and probably have a drop in taxes!
Eye for an eye: Iranian man sentenced to be blinded for acid attack
• Female victim was left sightless and disfigured
• She requests punishment, allowable under sharia law
A man who blinded a woman in an acid attack after she spurned his marriage proposals has been sentenced to the same punishment, in a literal application of Iran's sharia eye-for-an-eye laws.
In a highly unusual judgment, Tehran province criminal court ordered Majid Movahedi, 27, to be blinded in both eyes from drops of acid in response to a plea from his victim, Ameneh Bahrami.
The punishment is legal under the sharia code of qisas, which allows retribution for violent crimes. The court also ordered Movahedi to pay compensation to the victim.
Bahrami was left horrifically disfigured after Movahedi threw a jar of acid in her face as she walked home from work in a busy Tehran neighbourhood in October 2004. She had previously complained to police about being threatened and harassed by Movahedi, who she had known while they were both university students, but had been told no action could be taken.
Since the attack, Bahrami has undergone 17 operations, some by surgeons in Spain, in an unsuccessful attempt to reconstruct her face. Her injuries led to the loss of one eye and left her blind in the other. The Iranian government has paid £22,500 towards her treatment.
Testifying in Movahedi's presence, she told the court that she wanted "to inflict the same life on him that he inflicted on me". Asked by the judge if she wanted Movahedi's face to be splashed with acid, she replied: "That is impossible and horrific. Just drip 20 drops of acid in his eyes so he can realise what pain I am undergoing."
