Where's the outrage? Everyone was really ****ed when BB did the same
thing to Ole Thom. Would that make them hypocrites?


No, not really if one believes that all human life is not equal.

So are you saying that God loves one person more than another?

Why then is it ok to want Hitler to die? Why the death penalty? Why self
defense?

You are comparing Capt. Neal to Hitler? Hmmm.
The death penalty is consequences. Self defense is just that...

I think it is natural for people to wish someone would die. The revealing
part is their reasoning for it.

I don't think it is natural for someone claiming to be a Christian. Maybe
Catholic, Islam, or just an athesist would come up with something like
wishing someone would die.

Today, rather than pray for someone's death, I pray extra hard for God to
resurrect Barry Goldwater from the grave and make him President. Even
though Barry said that anyone who mixed religion and politics should go to
hell, I think God understood what Barry really meant.

I would be praying about something a little more important, like current
politics and world conditions.

Who do you wish for God to pull out of the ground and bring back to life?
He can do that you know.

I don't have anyone that I wish God would bring back to life.

I don't wish any harm to come to any of my enemies either.
