Oh, the humanity!

I had an interesting debate with myself this morning.

See, i'm not a very political guy. In fact for the most part, I hate politics but i do have my beliefs and opinions about certain issues.

As i sat on my porch swing this morning, the wind was slightly blowing, the fire engines across the street were testing sirens and horns, the sky was cloudy and I found myself in between the tasks of reading a book my friend Cassi lent me, Rob Bells, "Sex God" and vigorously searching for meaning behind why I believed the things I did.

In this book Sex God, Rob said something that hit me hard:

"How we treat creation reflects how we feel about the creator"

Wow.

I then started thinking about the death penalty. I have, in the past agreed with it, supported it and for the most part supported politicians who have done so as well. I mean, if a guy rapes and stabs a little girl to death (true story)...he should die. Right? I mean, what if that was my little sister?

As Rob's quote was ringing in my ears i brought myself to the biggest question of all:

Would Jesus ever be the one to push the button for those lethal chemicals to enter that persons body? Would He be the one that would even resort to that as a solution?

Ponder.

I think there may be a second part to this later.
