I got a few emails from some Christians after my last column, ?A Time to Kill,? ran.  They found my easiness with executing confessed and convicted child molesters, rapists and murderers to be offensive and un-Christ like.   They stated that I showed a ?lack of love? for these culprits whom Christ ?cares for,? and that I should ?err on the side of mercy? towards these marauders and ?love my enemies,? as this would be ?the Christian thing to do.?   Yes, I was electronically told by this, merciful-to-the-molester-minority, who thinks they?re siding with God when they support sustaining killers who forcefully copulate with kids, that I am to ?love the sinner and hate the sin.? 

Well, Kum-Ba-Frickin?- Yah!

Excuse me . . . but I still think that we should go Old Testament on guilty child molesters and ought to end their sad story in a selected gravel pit ala a community stoning. 

I hate to seem heretical and hellish to such bleeding hearts, but my pity begins and ends with the raped or molested or murdered child, and I really don?t care about the perpetrator who has harmed the helpless.  As far as I?m concerned, once you rape a little kid you officially get logged onto heaven?s eternal jerk roll and should be irrevocably placed on the must-die-quick list.

As far as my duty to my enemy or neighbor, I believe the biblical injunction/ maxim is to ?love my neighbor and my enemy as I love myself.?  

Here are my thoughts on me ?loving me? if I were the one to have kidnapped a nine year old little girl, then raped her, then buried her alive, then stuck her in a 55-gallon Hefty trash sack, then left her in a shallow grave to die:

If I did such a damnable act and really loved myself, then I would dutifully subject my person to punishment?in particular to death.  Yes, if I really loved myself, I would bear responsibility for my actions, which means that I would insist on taking one for the team by leaving this planet, via execution, because I have just violently offended the sensibility of the entire human collective. 

If I were the toad that took the life of the Lundsford or the Lunde girl, the right ?Christian? thing to do to show that I ?love myself? would be to confess to the crime, give myself up to the police, seek forgiveness from Almighty God (and beg it from all family members of my victim) and then ask to be deleted.  I?m not part of the Kool-Aid drinkers who think ?loving your enemy as one loves himself? excludes punishing to death the perpetrator?whether it?s someone else or me. 

Here?s what we are up against in the formerly good ole US of A.  Think about this before you talk about showing ?love and mercy? to molesters and start doling out religious quips and clich?to those of us who are trying to put an end to these predators prowling our parks.  Here?s some reality, Saccharine Saint?if you can handle it.

REALITY: There are more than 2 million convicted sex offenders currently living among us, not in prison.

REALITY: Over a 25-year period, more than half of all child molesters will be rearrested for a new sex offense charge.

REALITY: We release more than 200,000 criminals from prison each year, and they go on to commit an extraordinary number of new crimes. For example, during just the first three years following release, these criminals commit more than 3,000 new homicides, more than 3,000 new rapes and more than 3,000 new sex assaults against children. In other words, just like the terrorists of ?9/11? who killed 3,000 Americans, we release criminals every year who we know will commit more ?9/11?s?.

REALITY: More than 2/3 of all criminals released from prison will be rearrested within three years.

REALITY: The average time served for rape is just six years. Continued...
