Good example of violently destroying the life and freedom of your
neighbor. Its a good example of the kind of religious zealotry that the
founders of the US prohibited in the first amendment.
But, I believe in freedom, so if you want to be stoned to death go right
ahead. People ought to be respected for what they believe, and treated
accordingly. That's why the execution of murderers is acceptable.
Murderers have demonstrated that ***they*** believe its okay to kill
people, so its okay to use what they believe to judge how they ought to
be punished. Likewise, you seem to believe that its okay to stone
people to death. I have no problem with that. Its fair for you if you
believe in it.
