Please do not turn this into a personal thing.
We are debating an issue. I'm not interested in any cat-fights.
Catty? is that what it is? Is it personal when another tells you that they wish, anticipate and prophetize the death of your child? Is it personal when they follow their predictions of your fate with the belief that only then you will you understand and only then will you be righteous and that until then you are child murderer supporter? What were your intentions when calling those who do not support or follow your beliefs advocates of child murder? How have you escaped personalization and cattiness in this debate?
You made these inflammatory reckonings on children's lives...you gamble the fate of children's lives in hopes that the pay off will be in favour of your morals.
I know you care very little or in your own words have no respect for others who think differently on this issue than you. Yet to predict the necessity of a violent death for a innocent child in order to convert the wicked..is taking your beliefs and they need for all to adhere to them...
too far. In the recent sentencing (it was life in prison) to the notorious Green River Killer..Mr. Robert Rule, father of 1982 victim Linda Rule said...

"Mr. Ridgway, there are people here who hate you, I'm not one of them," Rule said. "I forgive you for what you've done. You've made it difficult to live up to what I believe, and that is what God says to do, and that is forgive, and he doesn't say to forgive just certain people, he says forgive all. So you are forgiven."
I suppose Mr Rule deserved to have his child killed? So he too could be enlightened and yet he failed this test of his morals. So I suppose that must mean he cares more for the killer than he does his daughter? He must of been a moral accessory in his child's death.
Or consider what Kathy Mills, mother of Opal Mills, whose body was found on the banks of the Green River in 1982 said....

"Gary Leon Ridgway, I forgive you, I forgive you,"
Again why hasn't your bets paid off? Why no conversion?
DP would you dare to face those fathers, those mothers and other surviving family members of murder victims who have chosen to forgive the killer/s..would you tell Mr. Rule or Mrs. Mills that they are in fact a child murderer supporter? How insistent are you for others to follow your beliefs?
No one person can say how another should react or should seek solace in life. That is not your place.
To me it is very very sad that we look to child murderers and other horrendous violent psychopathic people in our society to give us guidance in how to seek justice..to give us want to react and protect. To provide us with the reasoning for state institutionalized killing and to insist on it's need. Who needs who? What will you parade out and convert the masses with without these acts of horror to offend? The perpetuating of the belief that if you do not kill the next to be killed or the next deserving one to die will be your child is nothing more than a condemnation to hell for all the heathens.
