So, Pope came cross an interesting read and decided that maybe I should share a lil, "Pope's Spoken Words" today. Now, right now there's some HUGE hating going on, so I thought I'd see how many within The Congregation felt about one........ Tim Tebow.
As many of you are well aware, for a week you have taken part in a 'Round Table' discussion in which we shared our views on Capital Punishment. Here's a summary and conclusion to our week long discussion.
When I posed the question of if one should die for a murder in which she/or he committed, many of you stated, "YES" and some of you stated, "NO."
Pope then asked another question about murder, and placed you as the ultimate decider. I asked what would you do if your loved one was murdered, and the state turn to you to decided the perpetrators fate??? Most of you stated that the person should die for taking your loved one life, while those who don't believe in the death penalty didn't change their view and said no. Some of you even stated that if someone murdered your loved one in cold blood, that you'd want to kill that person yourself. *Hummmm, wouldn't that means that since you agree with the death penalty that YOU TOO would have to be put to death? Just saying*
Finally Pope reversed the question and asked you if your loved one murdered someone in cold blood should they received the death penalty...Well, at this point a lot of the "yes folk" started seeking situational scenario's, while the "no folk" stayed their course. I used the example of a dad protecting his child after finding out they were molested, who then beat the pedophile to death. Many of my "yes folk" then recanted their view and said that the dad shouldn't die as he was protecting his child. *Well, being that Pope was in law enforcement for 5 years prior to embarking on his wrestling career, I can assure you that once a pedophile has been discovered, usually the child is in custody of the parents, which means that there's no danger at the moment. The responsible parent[s] should call the law, allow justice to take it's course, and lock the bastard away. Usually upon this happening, that pedophile will serve more than just hard time in jail/prison, but will be served a dose of 'prison justice' from the other inmates. This doesn't mean that the parent doesn't care or won't be upset, but often realized that by taking the law into their own hand would only make matters worse, and possibly cause the child to be without a father/mother if he/she were to commit a crime against that pedophile, follow me?*
Greetings to all and welcome to another addition of Pope’s Spoken Word[s]. First thing Pope would like to do is to send his prayers to our brothers and sisters that were affected by Hurricane Irene, and just for everyone in general.
Greetings to all and welcome to another addition of Pope’s Spoken Word[s]. First thing Pope would like to do is to send his prayers to our brothers and sisters over in Japan. As I write this, horrid images of the devastation in Japan continues to roll across the television screen, images that are often only seen in “The End of the World” sci-fi movies. And in all honesty, not even the sci-fi movies can measure up to what they’re witnessing in Japan because it’s REALITY! Do YOU believe in “The End of the World?” some will say, “Yes” and others will say, “No” while many will agree to such but feel that it will not happen in their lifetime. Well allow Pope to enlighten you to some things; when that quake hit over in Japan, some people feared “an earthquake” while others feared (and faced) “the end.” When the Tsunami hit Japan, many people faced their end, and while facing it felt that it was indeed “Their End of the World.” Whenever “The End of the World” is mentioned, many people (based off of religious views) think about total destruction of biblical proportions (remember NOAH and The ARC?...Can you say, Tsunami?), and while that yet remains to be seen, one thing is for sure:
We shall ALL face a certain end. THAT cannot be argued, nor debated.
