We can stop them doing bad things, but do we have to play God in order to stop them? God created all of us and therefore we should do our part and whether the bad people deserve the most terrible death or not and let God finish the rest. We are all God's creations and therefor He should have the say in the fate's of his creations. We people in today's world only look at criminals through only one eye. We only see them as people who disrupt the peace of the world and just feel they needed to do the crime for no reason. There is a reason behind everything in this world and there is a reason behind why criminals do what they do. It could be a problem in the family, a broken relationship, an argument etc. This is not to say that their crimes are justified at all - but what I mean to say is that they are, at the core, human, with human problems - and human solutions. Whether you believe in God or not, war seems like a truly unfair decision to handle terrible situations such as this. Death is such a simple word such as walk, run, eat, and sleep. But it has a terrible meaning behind it. If we kill our criminals, we are putting them through such horrible pain and we are depriving them of redemption and the joys of life and the chance to do better in the future. There is always a spark of good in each person and we should always be willing to see it in the most dangerous of criminals. I don't know exactly how to stress this matter enough, because I feel it is truly unjust that the life of terrorists and such has to be in the hands of our fellow humans and not in the hands of our Creator. What should we do with them then? I think we should put them in prison and have councelors look into thier matters. And please stop treating me like I'm a naive child because this is what I feel is to be right. How in the world am I like a child if I'm kindhearted and don't want people to go through agaonzing pain. I have a goal in life and if we, people who are NOT God, kill people and have them never to be alive, feel the breeze of summer on thier faces, and never to redeem themsleves and do better in the future, we are not true Americans ourselves if we stoop down to thier level. I feel that it's very sad that I, who have a chance to dream, is seeing that people on this board think that other people should be killed, and never live again and never have a chance to dream and strive for a goal in life all because of a stupid mistake in thier life? Calling me a child just because I think this is very insulting to me and I think that YOU are childish for calling me such things just because if I believe in being KIND. I feel that this type of show should NOT be on tv for children to get the idea that going to war is a good thing. I understand that we wouldn't have anything in the USA if the soldiers who I am calling stupid did for us what they did. I understand, but the past is indeed over now. It's time to not copy what our forefathers did. Just because those soldiers in the 1700s and all that made war in order for us to have free speech and all that, doesn't mean we have to follow them exactly. I don't feel to consider myself a true American if I have to be proud that our forefathers commanded people to kill, destroy lives, and that we stooped down to thier level of actions, to make them pale and cold, and to never dream and have a goal in life, in order for me to have a future, free speech and religon etc. Two wrongs don't make a right.
My grandpa who is 82 years old is dying now of alzhimers (Yes I dare say he is dying because he's in the last stage). When I went up to his apartment, he was breathing in ragged gasps and he is thin and weighs only 110 pounds. And he right now is in the hospital and barley concious at all. When I went to his apartment, it smelled of sickness and yes I dare say it, death. I held his cold hand and made his fingers close over mine since he can't move and he had no feeling left in his bones. I was crying thanking him for all the good he shared with me, apologized that I treated him at times like dirt, and that I loved him. He's still alive but only just. NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE should go through this. If this isn't death, then I don't know what is. I also have another example of death which is from the movie Armstad. It's about how the African Americans were on that slave ship and killed the whites on board. I saw this movie in school (rated R). Call me stupid and all that, but I saw them throw knives and daggers in the white's backs and chest, have thier blood spill onto the deck, have that horrible shrieking and screaming in pain and agony and then they would throw the corpses into the sea. Can you picture that in your mind? I saw and I still can hear those screams in my head.
I don't know what kind of world you people live in but those are two examples of what happens in war. War=death=murder=pain=hurt=regret=no oxygen=no redemption= No more circulation=NO LIFE.
Oh yeah, and instead of replying here, reply to the topic I made 'Some Clarifications'. Unless you don't want to reply, I'll be seeing your comment there. Call my crazy, naive and stupid, do what you will but this is what I feel and the truth must be told.
