My "WTF?" of the day, religion and the death penalty department...
Bryan Fischer is supposedly quoting Moses, a guy who murdered someone, fled the country, and in this same book of the Bible orders his goon squads to murder every man and boy (including babies!) and non-virgin women of a rival tribe.
Yet another example of cherry-picking "da Bibble."
Bryan Fischer: ‘If You’re An Environmentalist,’ You Should Support The Death Penalty
By Kyle Mantyla | October 12, 2017 10:42 am
While making what he claimed was a biblical case for the death penalty on his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer said that executing criminals is something that environmentalists should support because that is the only process through which the land can be cleansed of “pollution.”
Citing Numbers 35, Fischer declared that “the land is polluted and defiled by murder; when innocent blood is shed, the land is polluted.”
“If you’re an environmentalist and you care about the pollution of the land of the United States of America, then you want to see murder stopped and you want to see murder avenged,” Fischer said. “You want to see justice done in the case of murder because Moses says in verse 33, ‘No atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it except by the blood of the one who shed it.’ So if we want to see our land cleansed from the pollution of the shedding of innocent blood, it’s not just enough to lock people up for the rest of their lives.”
