So, in light of Romans 13:1, do you essentially endorse the execution of homosexuals in countries like Iran?
See it as part of God's overall plan? Yes
In the end, man will rise up against God and will be defeated. Man will continue down the road of rebellion which means society will be like you and most people around here.

Does Romans 13:1 lead you to believe that your god figure, having established the Iranian government and placed them in power, wants them to execute homosexuals?
Although I doubt God micromanages everything, everything works out in the end.
As for your question, maybe you can get Jesus to answer it for you after you die.
Originally posted by @eladarThe question is about your beliefs. You believe in Romans 13:1 so you believe that your god figure established the Iranian government and placed them in power. You believe your god figure wanted homosexuals to be executed and you also insist that he never changed his mind about this. The Iranians execute people for homosexual sex. And yet you say you don't endorse it? Why would you not endorse arrangements - governments and punishments - that you quite clearly believe your god figure wants?

I believe that I do not care about Iran, other than wishing it was wiped from the face of the earth.

Yes, and with reference to that belief, as you stated it, I am now asking how could such a thing happen without innocent people being slaughtered ~ something that we can surely agree would be morally unsound?
It's way more boring and not nearly as entertaining as the "FMF and Robbie Show", even though I thought that drivel was boring too. This takes boring and stupid to a whole new level. I'm pretty sure you're not even getting your requisite amount of Christian-bashing satisfaction here, since Eladar is about as ignorant as a box of rocks.
Originally posted by @suzianneIf you don't like the discussion Eladar and I have been having, why are you intervening? Why not post on other threads where you like the discussion that's going on?
