Well, the religious right in Somalia has found an easier way: stoning rape victims to death. Yep. In front of a stadium of more than a 1000 people, a group of men stoned a 13 year old girl, who was raped, to death because they said she was guilty of adultery. Read the whole sad story here.
I know these were Islamic fundamentalists perpetrating this evil but the punishment for adultery according to the Holy Bible is stoning (Duet. 22:22). And since this is a Christian nation according to Christian Right, it only follows that we should follow the tenets of the Bible. To hell with the Constitution, right? Just think of the money we could make on concessions at these public executions!
Now Jesus, were he here today, would probably be against it. He always seemed to have a way of screwing up a good stoning (John 8:3-11) and messing with capitalism (Mark 11:15-18).
Damn liberal.
