i have empathy for and concern for those that are victims in this situation. i do ask that the lord's justice be swift for those that are the perpitrators. if these ppl truely think they are following god's will (and yes i believe some of them truely believe that) that is fine, but they must accept they are still subject to man's law. they have broken the law.

just as daniel made a choice to pray when it was against the law he suffered the consequences to his actions. he was willing to accept the consequences and let god save him if that be god's will. there are times when god let's the righteous suffer the fate man puts on them. if they are that convinced that they are right and we are all the ones going to hell fine, let them face the fate of man and god will deal with them as he see's fit.

i've in no way advocated any kind of persecution or mob mentality to harm or descrimination against anyone. i do seek consequences to actions. i recall it being said once that mercy without justice is far worse than justice without mercy. i think our society is heading that direction and will be to our distruction. i think the law should be followed to prosecute this crime and it should be used to the fullest extent without fear or hesitation. if those "fulfilling" the law are breaking the law to do it they too should be prosecuted for their crimes.
