    I have a Christian relative that is "ok with capital punishment because there are reasons" and I nearly died of irony. Would you believe they are anti-abortion too?

      Why yes, yes i would believe that. The classic Christian USian pro-death penalty/anti-abortion combo.

      If ideology were a drive thru it would be the #2. The #1 would be fiscally conservative/socially liberal with super sized fries and a 64 oz soda

        Of course they know, the whole point is that killing a radical agitator with a god complex cleanses their sins or something like that.

          Christianity I think has a lot more of value to say if you work from the basis that everything King James or anyone else who has ever played golf thinks about any subject wrong

            Who's King James?

            I went to Sunday school, which was actually on Saturdays, but I never learn the name of the twelve apostles

              king James was the English/Scottish king who's translation of the Bible went on to very firmly establish a lot of ideas by removing reference to tyranny being bad, translating a lot of things to mean eternal hell, his grandson would go on to establish the slave trade.

              He was a paranoid murderer who's belief that the poor were more at risk of corruption by the devil led him to have roaming torurers extracting witchcraft confessions all across rural England and Scotland. He's also largely responsible for the popularisation of golf and birth of the British empire

              My belief he and golfers are responsible for all bad things is largely unreasonable but on the other hand he was the king we had to learn about divine right of in school because of Shakespeare's cynical propaganda and I never stopped resenting the man for it. More reasonably the emperors Justinian and Constantine were largely responsible for Christianity becoming more of a tool of oppression. Although there is some evidence golf has roman origins so that's another mark for my "all golfers are always wrong" theory which I will admit is irrational and purely based on prejudice

      That makes sense, though? Like, the Bible prescribes death for a multiple crimes.
