David: Thanks for your thoughts. What you suggest is obviously the most effective way to eliminate what we perceive to be a threat. I personally would not miss New York city but I suppose many people would. It seems, however, that following that logic, we would lock up everyone who might steal, take the licenses of those who might speed, and make those who may divorce pay alimony. Is this nation so Godly that we can now tell others/force others to do as we say? Can we see clearly that this is what Jesus would have us do? How do we justify our behavior based on the Sermon on the mount? What am I missing?
