most followers of Jesus are pro death penalty? Strange. I have exactly the opposite perception. maybe many american fundamentalists are. Wannabe-christians who label themselves as soemthing that they are not. Because I am usually very strict and precise in my differing between church/Christianity/sects, and those who truly follow the message of Jesus , I see that statement as absurd.
Now from that, I don't know exactly if they're Christian or not. But it seems so. Not sure. But then 30 minutes later, they posted this:

but letting representatives of such a group know what public opinion thinks of them, by throwing eggs, tomatoes and stones at them wherever they appear on the scene
So yeah, in debate, tact is never my goal. That's just the way I am. But to go from putting people down for not really practicing the teaching of Christ to literally throwing stones at others? I have a problem with that mentality.
Always have. Always will.

Yes, indeed.

When people are looking in the long-term, to write a constitution or a bill of rights for example, they are protecting themselves from moments where all they care is short-term.

Unless we're willing to lower the voting age to 12 too, then the abused children get the chance to vote against their abusers, otherwise, who's going to defend them? The Fascists?

That's a very good point. Pretty much sums it all up.

I'm all for coherence, so, here I go.

EDIT: Ok, I'm willing to kill Spanish Chimpanzees and drunk drivers.

So you don't have to get so sick anymore.
