A View I Feel Dirty Defending

I know this subject is saturated with emotion, but I agree with the Supreme Court's decision to not allow the execution of child rapists. Yes, it's a horrible, horrible crime, and it seems somehow uncompassionate to not want child rapists to fry. But if we're going to have the death penalty, then I'm a life-for-a-life guy.

Tough issue, though. I could be persuaded otherwise, if I believed in the death penalty (which I don't, for biblical reasons).

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
