Matthew18:25-35 says you’re a hypocrite if you do and will burn in hell. Also Jesus is father and son this is his direct quote Also Please read and pay attention to whole detail of outline so you won’t give a stupid response. Please Don't resort to stupid insults and slander either Now for logos statistics show increased cost of funding in criminal justice and punishment has in no way reduced crime in fact just the opposite we are seeing a trend of increase 5 times the average we are also seeing a dramatic increase in cost and prison over crowding while sociology experiments are showing that merciful acts in state show a dramatic reduction in crime such examples were taken during the Vietnam war and drug rehab center legislation prior to mandatory minimum sentence concluding it just feels good and costs a lot in fact white color crimes are said to be more expensive to jail then a hospital bill and drug offenders on average are more expensive to jail then rehab programs Yes put away violent offenders but their are alternative punishments to non violent offenders or at least reduced sentencing The real question we should be asking ourselves is what is the correlation between incarceration and crime rates experts say their is none that incarceration does not equal change in behavior so for all our incarceration are we really safer experts say no Can we draw out a public safety plan that is fiscally sane remember your flipping the bill for these people The answer is yes many bills offering programs without sentence or reduced sentence are offered part of religious rehabilitation program even with violent offenders in church services and anger management but because of republicans and conservative Christians this bill has been shot down Also we must come to the moral realization that prison is in no way fair punishment I mean that the punishment is not equal to all inmates and that constitutes a moral ethic of un equal punishment as well as for a select minority cruel and unusual I think corporal punishment if agreed upon should be administered by government not by underground seedy organizations like prison gangs that are obviously cruel and unusual in addition safety regulation has occurred for prison inmates increasing Co Officers and was effective in Texas but the law was later removed by you guessed it conservator Christian republicans Note: The Separation of church and state is just a clause How Is Church and State Divided? Ok I know The U.S Constitution right; the first Amendment Congress shall pass no law that is in favor of any religion. but isn't American economics founded on the protestant ethos and don't we have to swear oaths in courts Don't we say god in the pledge of allegiance does it not say in god we trust on our printed money Don't we pass state laws favorable to monotheism like abortion and bans on gay marriage like prop 8 politically hiding it's involvement as to make lies successful like saying it's about the definition of marriage which it was not It was about civil liberty in making a amendment to the state Constitution because a law regarding same sex marriage was over tuned in four case precedents from judges in Northern California What about state and Federal grants and tax subsidy to Jewish and Christen churches what happened to Islam or pagan covens what happened to Buddhist and Hindu temples why are they not funded or given relief what happened to catholic parishes Why have republicans become political candidates of conservative Christian’s Why do we always attribute morality and god to our wars or political projects Why cant we remain in logos of political movements why did feminism take so long why was prohibition passed why do we have a fiscally insane war policy on drugs and terrorism

Answer 1 :
Do you really expect anyone to read all of that?
Answer 2 :
Because being repentant doesn't mean you don't deserve to finish your punishment. ANd if you were truly repentant, you'd understand why.
Answer 3 :
wizjp is exactly right..you don't have to read anything but your question to answer it perfectly..we can't just release because a criminal is genuinely repentant.
Answer 4 :
it also says to obey the law of the land. and really, you want seperation of church and state and to release them just because they say they are repentant would be wrong. they must be accountable and follow the law.
Answer 5 :
I am sorry, but you are misreading the Scripture. This passage is about how individuals are to treat other individuals, not how society organizes itself and upholds its laws. While we should forgive people of their crimes, they must also suffer the consequences of their actions. That is why Romans 13 talks about government exercising authority. I understand your point in reference to non violent offenders and partly agree. Our legal system should be much more focused on restitution and punishment made more proportional to the impact on society. For example, if a con man steals $1 million, he should have to pay up $1.2 million to his victims. Confinement for non violent offenses should be limited and those offenders kept away from violent offenders. That is why non violent offenders (for the most part) go to minimum security prisons and work farms while the violent animals get locked up with others of their kind in maximum security. As an aside, with reference to your comment on religion and the First Amendment, all recognized religions (including Hindu temples and Wiccan covens) do get 501c3 exemptions as well as exemptions from property taxes and tax breaks for clergy. Also, with respect to California's Prop 8, it cannot be overturned on the basis of the state constitution because it was an amendment to the constitution. There are procedural reasons unrelated to the subject matter that are the focus of current legal action.
