re: #401 keloyd

Jesus himself didn’t get to stick around long enough to go into specifics. He also never told us to imprison or fine sinners. St. Paul had no problem with it in Acts 25.

Speaking for myself, life in prison seems worse than death. I would prefer quick death (likely in Texas) to life in prison (40+ years for me maybe) for a crime let’s assume I did not commit. Eternity with choirs eternal, the communion of saints, and You Know Whom, or 40 years of prison life, hmm.

Except if you get life, you can hope that someone like the Innocence Project people can get you out if you are in fact innocent. There have been dozens of such cases in the past few years.
