I appreciate your recommendation, and it is intriguing, but as a pro-lifer, I cannot support an organization that is opposed to the death penalty.

This has to be a typo, because the way it is phrased, he is saying that he supports the death-penalty BECAUSE he is pro-life, instead of despite it.
I'm going to add that, to a certain extent, its at least intuitively more reasonable to be pro-life/pro-death penalty than pro-choice/anti-death penalty. In the first case, their moral standard for measuring the value of life is that it's innocent (nevermind that they kill equally innocent beings all the time like plants and animals that they eat), and on the second occasion the moral standard isn't exactly clear.http://www.fstdt.com/blog/rubrique.php?id_rubrique=16 ), then I don't really buy the argument that abortion comes down to choice vs life. I think it comes down to what measures of moral value apply to the unborn fetus, and I'm not sure that pro-lifers have adequately shown that *any* measures of moral value apply.
This is why I hate fundies.
I agree with the nominations of this item for Post of the Month.
>>Post of the month? Post of the YEAR, I say. I can't see how this could possibly be outdone...<<
Oooooookaayyyy then.
"everyone deserves to live, unless they are breaking the law, then they should be killed, even if there are other ways of punishing them."
It honestly makes no sense to you that someone would be against killing an innocent (what they consider) person (in their view the fetus is a person) and putting to death someone who has been convicted in a court of law of deliberate murder of another innocent person? I don't see the hypocrisy in that, and you'll find a lot of people (Christian and not) who understand this and believe the same thing.
Skeptical:
Okay, so some killing is okay.
Makes sense to me...wait, no it doesn't.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
