I don't think you are qualified to speak about what God would or would not support. You actually aren't qualified to speak on anything connected with a mental construct you don't consider real. In regards to them being "still kids" for crying out loud. The kids on the bus fully knew what they were doing. They were intentionally inflicting pain and suffering on the bus mom. It is like the young men in the Bible story who got mauled to death by female bears for taunting someone for being bald and other mocking there. They are being cruel and evil. And who are you to say what is "premature" or not? Way life works, you act in the wrong manner, you die from it. Only thing that would save someone from this is a degree of mercy and compassion. In regards to initiatives supported, I don't believe coersion is the answer to anything out there. However, if individuals who lack mercy and compassion, and bully, suffer a fate that is horrible due to their situation, I don't shed a tear over them at all. This includes bullies getting mauled by bears. Call it karma if you like. My first preference is redemption for all, even the worst. A key to redemption is actual change though, not some sort of cheap grace where you steal a bike you want, ask for forgiveness, and don't return it. |
I thought you were being facetious with the whole "children being mauled by bears" thing but it's becoming worryingly likely that you're actually serious :/
No, being clawed to death by wild animals is not a valid punishment for bullying, or anything else. Indeed, I don't see that this should result in a criminal prosecution at all. I approve of the suspension of the kids involved, but nothing more.
May I just say, you are a very peculiar liberal. I'm guessing you would oppose the death penalty for murder, but apparently it's okay for a bunch of kids who make fun of an old lady on a bus.
