Hi,
I guess i would describe myself as a liberal christian, although i think i am conservative in certain areas. I think "liberal" and "conservative" are meaningless, circular words.
So, most conservative christians are staunchly against abortion. They think abortion is murder. However, they are usually for Capital Punishment.
This seems pretty insane to me. Why is killing a fetus murder, but killing an adult not murder?
I dare you to try and say "oh well, a fetus is innocent, but someone convicted of a capital crime is horrible". Bullshit. First of all, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and all have sinned before god, no matter how holy you think you are. A murderer would be forgiven just as easily as a shoplifter if he truely accepts Christ.
And that's not counting the fact that innocent people have been killed. There's no getting around it. That is an absolute tragedy in my opinion. Hundreds of people have been convicted of capital crimes who were just as innocent as our beloved fetus'.
So why are conservative Christians generally for the death penalty?
In case anyone is wondering, i'm against capital punishment, and i am also against Abortion. However, i think abortion should be legal, but extremely rare and not a form of birth control.
