Someone far removed from our situation is parodying Mr. Sproul, and doing a bad job at that. This is not from Sproul, but some anonymous attacker of his. One of them SAT thingees:<br><br>this person is to Sproul Jr<br>as Intoleristas are to Doug Wilson
<br><br>He doesn't represent or honestly interact with anything Mr. Sproul or Mr. Wilson believes. His main attacks seem to be centered around the fact that we drink alchohol. He tries to portray us as drunkards, in addition to rambles like the one you quoted.

Doug Wilson (as quoted by R.C. Sproul, Jr.)<br> "I would urge that the civil penalties applied<br>would be measured and limited. I have a good hope that<br>Steven has genuinely repented, and that he will<br>continue to deal with this to become a productive and
<br>contributing member of society."<br><br>R.C. Sproul, Jr.<br>What kind of humanistic claptrap is this, Doug? Who<br>really cares if Sitler ever does "become a productive<br>and contributing member of society" through what you
<br>have termed "secular therapy"? Show us where you got<br>that vernacular from. Is it biblical? Freudianism?<br>Skinnerism?<br><br>Oh, and let's not forget that you've equated Sitler's<br>crimes to a mere violation of the 7th Commandment!
<br>Molesting 2-12 year old children is adultery? Are you<br>really that stupid Doug, or are you obstructing<br>justice by your perverse interpretation of Scripture?<br>Molesting children isn't adultery, it's rape, and as
<br>you well know serial rapists warrant something a whole<br>lot more onerous than a one year slap on the wrist in<br>the Latah County Jail (commonly referred to as the<br>"Latah Hilton"), say like the death penalty. You have
<br>in no way aided in the process of obtaining justice --<br>particularly biblical justice. All you've done is<br>derail and pervert justice.<br><br>Ralph Nielsen<br>So Mr. Sproul doesn't believe in "humanistic claptrap" or situation
<br>ethics like "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to<br>you", let me point out what God wants us to do.<br><br>As I quoted earlier, God demands that a rapist be forced to marry his<br>victim and shall never be permitted to divorce her as long as he
<br>lives (Deut. 22:28-29; Exodus 22:15-16)). The reason the rapist must<br>marry his victim is because she is now "damaged goods" and no one<br>else would want to marry her. Doug earlier asked me about the age of
<br>consent in the Bible. As far as I can find, no such idea is<br>mentioned. Since the Bible says children are the property of their<br>fathers, the consent would seem to come from the fathers, not the<br>daughters. See also Numbers 31:1-41 for instructions on how to treat
<br>young boys and girls.<br><br>Sproul also seems to be a fan of the uncivilized practice of capital<br>punishment. Here too, God instructs us. Sassy boys must be stoned by<br>the elders of the city (Deut. 21:18-21). Boys or girls who strike
<br>their parents must be put to death (Exodus 21:15). And so on, ad<br>nauseam.<br><br><br><br><br>_____________________________________________________<br> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.
