Stoning, or lapidation, is a form of capital punishment whereby a group throws stones at a person until death ensues. No individual among the group can be identified as the one who kills the subject, yet everyone involved plainly bears some degree of moral culpability. This is in contrast to the case of a judicial executioner. Slower than other forms of execution, stoning is a form of execution by torture.

When did Jews stop stoning people to death liketheir god commands them to do?
Christians say they don’t stone people to death anymore despite clear commandments from their god to do so because they claim those are old Jew laws. So what excuse do Jews use for disobeying their god by not stoning people to death for working on the Sabbath, eating shellfish, wearing clothing made from different fibers etc?

from the newadvent.org
Stoning in Scripture

Palestine being a very rocky country, the abundance of stones made itnatural to use them as missiles. Stone throwing might be merely a mark of hatred and contempt (2 Samuel 16:6-13), or the means of carrying out murderous intentions against which provision had to be made in theLaw (Exodus 21:18, Numbers 35:17). Stoning to death which was at first an expression of popular fury analogous to “lynching”, later came to be a natural and legally recognized method of execution. It was this regulated by law as an appointed means of capital punishment(Deuteronomy 17:5-7; Acts 7:58). Death by stoning is prescribed in thePentateuch as the penalty for eighteen different crimes includingSabbath-breaking, but for one crime only — murder — is it the penaltyprescribed in all the codes. The execution of the criminal usually took place outside the city walls, and according to Deuteronomy 17:7, thewitnesses in the case were to cast the first stone: “Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wickedthing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned. By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he die who is to be slain…. The hands of thewitnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterwards the hands of the rest of the people”. (Deuteronomy 17:5-7). Stoning is also mentioned in Acts 7:57-58, as the means by which Stephen the firstChristian martyr was put to death: “And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him.”


Everyone knows that the Islamic Republic of Iran is “extremist,” but in fact, in Islamic terms stoning is not “extremist”; it is Islamic law for adulterous women. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, even maintained that it was originally in the Qur’an:

‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession.” Sufyan added, “I have memorized this narration in this way.” ‘Umar added, “Surely Allah’s Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.” (Bukhari, vol. 8, bk. 82, no. 816)

“Allah’s Apostle” is, of course, Muhammad, who did indeed carry out stonings. Here is the hadith in which he challenges the rabbis about stoning, and in which there is amidst the barbarism and brutality a final act of love and compassion:
The Jews came to Allah’s Apostle and told him that a man and a woman from amongst them had committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah’s Apostle said to them, “What do you find in the Torah (old Testament) about the legal punishment of Ar-Rajm (stoning)?” They replied, (But) we announce their crime and lash them.” Abdullah bin Salam said, “You are telling a lie; Torah contains the order of Rajm.” They brought and opened the Torah and one of them solaced his hand on the Verse of Rajm and read the verses preceding and following it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, “Lift your hand.” When he lifted his hand, the Verse of Rajm was written there. They said, “Muhammad has told the truth; the Torah has the Verse of Rajm. The Prophet then gave the order that both of them should be stoned to death. (‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “I saw the man leaning over the woman to shelter her from the stones.” (Bukhari, vol. 4, bk. 56, no. 829)

Even the monkeys practiced stoning, according to another hadith:
During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them. (Bukhari, vol. 5, bk. 58, no. 188) >>>more<<<





Which of the three religions, Christianity, Judaism or Al-Islam prescribes stoning for adultery?

This matter is rather simple. Let’s take a look at what the Old Testament, New Testament and the Quran says about the punishment for adultery. Without interpretation or interpolation let’s just look at what each book prescribes. Then after doing so let’s ask the question which book are those who stone to death really following?


Thank you Belatucadros for agreeing with me on other religions using stoning as a method of punishme

John Brummett: Mack McLarty and amnesty
Published Thursday, September 06, 20

In case you wondered what became of Thomas F. “Mack” McLarty, the former Arkla chairman and the first White House chief of staff and later Latin American liaison for his boyhood friend, Bill Clinton, I need only refer you to international political news.
The article revealed that the man who now is Mexico’s foreign minister, Andres Rozental, buttonholed McLarty at a black-tie affair at Tavern on the Green in New York City in the winter of 2000. The Mexican diplomat persuaded McLarty, now an international consultant in partnership with Henry Kissinger, to become the American chairman of a bilateral commission of political, educational and business leaders to study American-Mexican migration under the aegis of the Carnegie Foundation.

The commission’s report, delivered in February by McLarty to Bush’s chief of staff, Andrew Card, recommended a policy commonly referred to, and probably over-stated, as amnesty — meaning a process for legalizing at least some of the millions of undocumented Mexican immigrants gainfully employed in the United States and free of criminal complications except for the basic illegality of their presence. The report became a factor in Bush’s decision to float the idea of amnesty. >>>MORE<<<

Something we saw in Denver! I was going to write something sooner about this, but between being in Denver still, relaxing when I got home and then my computer taking a crap on me and having to get a new one, I'll do it now.

Battleskin88 and I had an incredible time/trip to Denver January 29 to Feb. 4, 2011. It was very relaxing and a much needed get away. I not only got to see family I don't see that often which was incredible, I miss them so much. We also took in some Denver sites as shown in the pictures I have posted.

We all went to Denvers Botanical Gardens it was absolutely beautiful and we saw the Sculptures of Moore, afterwards we hit Shells and Sauce (excellent Italian resturant, which I recommend and hope to eat there again) We attended to other business while there. Then the last full day we where in Denver we checked out the Denver Aquarium. Amazing!!!!!!!!

After walking through the Downtown Aquarium, of course we had to make a pit stop at the bathrooms. After we both got our business taken care of we met in front of the bathrooms. I was looking around taking in everything and saw it there a sign for a UNISEX BATHROOM. Battleskin88 and I where both like ICKKKKKKKKKKKKK, WTH!

Then as we where talking about how wrong that was we came to this conculsion. Alright it has to be for Transvestites because they couldn't use the well we had to make one for Parents and their babies, because the Male and Female bathrooms both had changing tables and WOW it was just WOW.

Had to get a picture of it, although you can't completely tell that it says Unisex on it

WORST BILL OF WEEK–AB 1266–Democrat Bill to Allow Boys in Gov’t School Girls Showers, Bathrooms and on Girls Team—and Vice Versa

If San Fran Assemblyman Ammiano has his way buys who think they are girls will be allowed to use the girls showers, bathrooms and join the girls basketball team. Girls who think they are boys will be allowed the reverse.

Do you think an eleven year old girl wants to have a twelve year old boy in the showers with her? Do you think boys would enjoy having a fifteen year old girl taking a shower with them?

San Fran is a sick city. Now they want their “openness” to go to your town. The good news is that passing this law will assure many more boys and girls going to private education facilities instead of government social experiments. Would you send your child to this Democrat dream school?

Assemblymember Tom Ammiano

State ordering girls’ locker rooms open to boys

The California State Assembly passed a bill Thursday mandating schools permit boys to play on girls’ athletic teams and utilize the ladies’ locker room if they gender identify as girls – or vice-versa for girls identifying as boys.

The bill’s author, openly homosexual San Francisco Democrat Tom Ammiano, has been an activist for lesbian, “gay,” bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, issues for decades and reportedly became in 1975 the first San Francisco public school teacher to make his homosexuality public.

Ammiano told the Los Angeles Times some parents may be uncomfortable with their children sharing bathrooms with students of a different sex, but he said, “It’s also important to protect our children from prejudice.”

“There’s no trampling of other people’s rights,” he said. “There’s a recognition that other people have the same rights that you do.”

Ammiano cited the case of Eli Erlick, a high school student in Mendocino County who was born male but identifies as female. Ammiano said Erlick was prohibited from participating in girls’ gym classes while in middle school and noted that Erlick’s parents testified in favor of the bill.

By a vote of 46-25, carried without any affirmative votes from Republican lawmakers, the California Assembly passed the bill, AB 1266, which amends Section 221.5 of the state’s Education Code as follows: “A pupil shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.”

The bill would affect not only interscholastic sports, but also sex-segregated physical education classes.

An analysis of the bill quoted Ammiano: “When transgender students are denied the opportunity to participate in physical education classes in a manner consistent with their gender identity, they miss out on … important benefits and suffer from stigmatization and isolation.”Read more

This isn't a High School Student, just using as an example.

Alright before you all start calling me closed minded, a bigot, ignorant or whatever choice word you care to throw at me. Listen I have had communication with many gays and transwhatever through out my life, through a job I was working in high school, to having a person I called my best friend when growing up in Elementary/Middle School until she moved away. Fastforward 20 something years and we got back in contact with one another which was great; I later found out she owned a business, which happened to be a nightclub/bar and it wound up being similar to a 'Bird Cage' kind of establishment with the shows and stuff. I have no idea if it is still there, but her and I lost touch with each other again. i guess you'd say we grew apart with things we had in common as teenagers, which wasn't a whole lot anymore. Due to life events. 'our own tragic tales while growing up' etc., but this is completely insane and wrong as anything.

Why should young girls/teens who are already put in an uncomfortable situation for some girls a complete nightmare of having to change in front of a boy who thinks he's a girl? Tell me are these transgenders still anatomically correct with penis still intact, are they taking hormones to grow Boobs? Or are these transwhatevers just dressing up in womans clothing? HOMESCHOOL and Why is it only girls lockerrooms and boys not having to have transgnder chicks or whatever you want to call them in guys locker rooms? What are their Penises not to be seen? I have a bunch more thoughts on this that i can't or won't say.....but WTF is wrong with this count

b>He might be getting kicked out of class and he might be disrespecting authority, but you can’t say he doesn’t have a point. Arguing over his teacher’s repeated “byes” and “get outs,” this high school student proves a couple of things. No. 1, he understands the value of education. No. 2, he can recognize when his education is not being valued by others — i.e. his teacher is crap. And No. 3, he is willing to fight like hell for what he believes in: “When you come in here like you did last time and make a statement about ‘oh this is my paycheck,’ indeed it is. But this is my country’s future and my education.”
