HOW do you control humanity and the drunken dregs of our species, especially when they're killing each other in ever-increasing numbers?

That's what God's first people, the Israelites, wanted to know.

JUSTICE! - came the swift reply from on high. Punishment must fit the crime.

The robber forfeits the equivalent of what he took. The smiter is smited. The killer is killed (Exodus 21).

God didn't opt for our modern sentimental liberalisms; for the designer of humanity knew stronger stuff was needed.

The gang members that kill a defenceless, bare-footed man should forfeit their own lives. A nation needs honest justice for both offender and offended and that can only mean an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'.

For this reason, God didn't sentence murderers to a handful of comfortable years reading and watching telly. God wouldn't have released a punk terrorist back on the streets to kill.

God would echo the words of Gary Newlove's widow, "Until this Government puts into place an effective deterrent, youths of today know only too well they can play the system and get away with it."

Modern England is crippled with a warped godless version of its Christian heritage believing we should understandingly turn-the-other cheek when kids practice their soccer skills with somebody's head.

But Christian turn-the-other-cheek love was given by Jesus only to those ruled by God's love.

For those governed by self love, God's laws for Israel still stand.

Eye-for-eye justice.
