Not much. You asked what Jesus would do and I answered. Isn't this what Jesus would do - as per the reference to the Supremacy of God at the very top of our Constitution?

Sure it is. It is extreme control of the population and a denial of individual freedom. Well, he sure is popular because apparently millions of people follow him. He must be doing something right. He has struck a nerve. Nobody needs to be "trained" to speak about liberalism or progressivism and expose it. He has a natural talent.

No. Jesus was not a Communist or Socialist. Many falsely believe He was a Socialist.

Eyeball, is this you?

Did you miss your bottle this morning?

"Since 2022, Canada has committed more than $300 million in international development, humanitarian and security assistance funding to Haiti. In addition, Canada is providing in-kind support worth $57 million to reinforce the HNP. " Canada announces $123 million in funding to improve security in Haiti - Canada.ca Why is Canada throwing this kind of money to places like Haiti, the middle east, and other countries while Canada is so far in debt and we now in a housing crisis, failing health care system, and very high food costs? Our military is reported by top experts to be in a "death spiral" for various reasons and has been underfunded for decades. "The federal government reported a federal deficit of $1.13 trillion at the end of the 2021-2022 fiscacanadal year(opens in a new tab), an increase of 8.2 per cent from the previous fiscal year."

China reportedly has 700 million closed circuit TV cameras monitoring its population by the Communist Party. These cameras are capable of recognizing faces and even gait if they cannot see the face. This is the most extensive monitoring system imaginable. AI of course is indispensable for this system. The ironic thing is, he says, much of this technology was obtained from the west. This system is integrated with the Communist Party social credit system which awards points for obedience to the dictates of the Communist Party. He says if you have insufficient points, the party may exercise control over everything electronic you use, including purchasing, bank accounts, etc. Jordan Peterson made a presentation to Congress where he describes this system in significant detail. Strangely there are actually users on here who believe that China is not a Communist system but has embraced Capitalism. This monitoring and control system of the population proves otherwise. I cannot verify the accuracy of this information.

In 1789 France had the French Revolution and killed thousands of their own innocent people. They produced Napoleon who did nothing but conduct huge wars. In recent times they have brought in hundreds of thousands of immigrants and have had a lot of terrorist attacks and problems. They recently put the right to kill unborn babies (abortion) in the Constitution. Their leader, Macron, even said western troops might go into the Ukraine to fight, which would probably provoke a world war. Now they are following Canada's footsteps and bringing in legislation for medical assistance in dying. They are rapidly becoming a major disaster and a liability for their own people and the world.

Everyone has their own personal beliefs. I don't make the laws but I have the right in a democracy to my views on how the country should be governed to protect society and make a better country. It's as simple as that. You don't believe that God and his word have a place in the world. You believe in liberalism and soft-on-crime. The present law and order situation is a disaster. You have no solution. I have some ideas.

You want to be free to do whatever you feel like without any restrictions. That is not how the world works and not how God meant for man to live.

That does not mean anything. The unborn baby will grow and be born. After it is born it still depends on the mother to feed it and grow. Does that mean it is not a person? Of course not. Since you are opposed to God and the Bible, we know where you are coming from.

Where did I say that? You just made it up. Isn't it past your bedtime?

A unborn baby is not the woman's own body. It is a separate human being. That is a biological fact.

No, I don't. I oppose killing as a general rule, but believe the state has the power and responsibility to use capital punishment in certain cases such as murder after a fair trial. You are under God's authority and will be held accountable for your rejection of it. You reject God's commandments by supporting killing of unborn babies and assisted suicide. Many laws evolved from God's word down through the centuries. Laws that outlaw stealing, protection of private property, etc.

The fact you would think a convicted murderer has the right not to receive capital punishment while an innocent unborn baby does not have that right shows you how convoluted and warped your thinking is. In general, the world is deceived by Satan and his minions. That explains why many people cannot understand the concept of the sanctity of life and when justice is appropriate for murderers. Satan has deceived you. You probably don't even believe he exists, which is perfectly find with him. He doesn't want you to believe in him or God's word. That is how he rules the world.

There is a world of difference between capital punishment for a convicted murderer and taking someone's life who is not being punished for murder, but just because someone thinks a person has a right to take his own life or give someone assisted suicide. God has taught that human life is sacred and only God has the right to decide when it ends. You or anyone else has no right to decide to actively end someone else's life or even your own life. God said in his word "thou shalt not kill" and in another place in Scripture it says our bodies belong to God. He created us in his image. Therefore only God has the right to take life. The exception to this is for a convicted murderer. Such a person has taken the life of someone who was created in the image of God and therefore it is just that he forfeit his life through the proper legal system. The unborn baby is a human made in the image of God and his/her life is sacred just as much as any other person.

You don't believe murderers should receive capital punishment, but you are probably ok with doctor-assisted suicide and killing of unborn babies in abortion, right? You say your conscience is your guide, but just means whatever you happen to believe or more likely what some liberal or progressive told you. That is contrary to the Bible which says all are sinners and have a corrupt heart. That means your guide is fallen corrupt humans, i.e. humanism. That is just a form of paganism or heathenism. Whatever the tribe decides must be the way to go.

Of course I am under the same law as everyone else. You are not making sense.

Your understanding of the Bible is bizarre and irrational. You don't appear to believe in justice. Just let murderers and criminals go free. No punishment. Not sure how you get that out of the Bible. It make absolutely no sense. Weren't you the guy who said money is evil and nobody should use it? I have the Bible, which is God's word, on my side. What do you have? Nothing.

So you can read other people's mind and know the basis of their beliefs. The Bible requires capital punishment and it was inspired by God. Your argument is with God. Worried what will happen to you for rejecting God, Jesus Christ, and his word, the Holy Bible.

Think what you want. I believe what God said in the Bible. You will be held accountable for yourself. I don't have to worry. You should be worried.

Some might worry about it. Either way, justice should be done regardless of whether it changes their thinking or not. That is not the purpose of justice. Justice should be done simply because it is the right thing to do.

That is an oversimplification. Capital punishment is just and protects society. The murderer is no longer able to kill again. Society is being protected. Capital punishment for murder is an age old justice practice. It goes back to Genesis 9:6 "6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Genesis 9:6 Where did Jesus ever say that punishment no longer applies for murder?

That is nothing to be proud of. The justice system is based on Judeo-Christian heritage. Letting murderers escape capital punishment has accomplished nothing positive. Gangs and killings are widespread now and nobody is safe.

Justice comes from Judeo-Christian religion based on the Bible. So I guess in that sense it has a religious base. What is the alternative? Progressivism, liberalism, ???
