What is a “bible believing Christian”?

@kellyjay said
So you acknowledge when someone does a crime the laws should be enforced?

What "crime"? What "law" passed by what regime? What process? What punishment? My answer to what morally "should" happen would depend on the answers to these questions.

You asked me the question. I responded. And now you are immediately running away.

Since we were not talking about specifics, the distinction if its important to you; you
can talk about that as you see fit. Right now, the ONLY thing I care about is that
there is a difference between an unborn child and someone, a convicted criminal
sentence to death, you can play with that or not, don't care if you find some crimes
worthy of your thoughts or not.

So you support the death penalty in your country even though Black people are far more likely than White people to be sentenced to death for committing similar crimes? This, for you, is "righteousness"?

Would you like to see women who have abortions punished by the state and, if so, would you approve of them being executed for it? And if you do, would you be OK if Black women were being punished for it more than White women?

For me, if the trial is fair, a crime is committed, and a guilty verdict is given, no
matter the color. If you want to debate color and death sentences, find someone
who wants to talk about that with you. You're changing the subject and adding
nothing to the current discussion.

How can you say colour is "no matter" if Black people are far more likely than White people to be sentenced to death for committing similar crimes?

You're running away. The topic here is what you see as "righteousness".

Subject: "righteousness" & the death penalty.

Yes, the righteousness of someone convicted of a crime and sentenced to death
was given to them; the comparison was to an unborn child's life.

You are not talking about that. Instead, you are changing the topic to color and
the possibility of racism playing a part, not the same. I'm not running away; you
are just inserting yourself into something that has nothing to do with the thing
you are now going on about.

Why would you condone people being sentenced to death?
