Actually you're right, you could argue there is a religion or cult he has created where he is God in that country.
A Christian nation where bizarre things happen that are equally offensive as anything that comes out of Iran or any other Muzzie country. There are plenty of other countries just like this one.
Use Joogle and find out where these places are.
I knew that, the question was, what about it?
Why do you have such a serious issue with answering simple questions?
Ya, I know.
Why the cryptic game petros? Having difficulty conjuring one up?
You're criticizing Islamic countries for it's immoral practices when we're not any better here in the west...
Not much of a difference between theocracy and the kind of government and ideology that runs North Korea. North Korea's head of state is a dead man. Kim Jong Il's official biography is riddled with mysticism and all things are thanks to him. Communism itself is practically a religion, but the North Koreans take it a step further.
Can you back up your claims with a direct quote please.
Or is this more of your imaginary domination?
Conjuring? What's to conjure. No problem at all. I have one handy. It's even one Canada sends plenty of aid to. They even petitioned to be in NATO. It's one you supported supporting during a conflict a few years back.
Heck we even wrote their laws for them to ignore.

It was a clear criticism of Islamic countries in an effort to make Christianity sound superior.
Petros am I crazy here?
Yes there are all kind of things that go on in a lot of countries, and they are as evil as
each other. There is a difference however. The difference is the United States does
not have government issuing decrees to cut peoples faces etc. Those are done by
cults and religious groups who believe they are talking to God or Christ or some other
form of God.
The case in Iran is that the government's through the official court system has ordered
this. That makes the state officially barbaric.

Then by all means, feel free to name it.
Do you know many Christian theological gov't run countries?
You're crazy everywhere.
The CIA has overthrown governments of foreign countries because it's in their best interests... and these puppet governments are brutal to the citizens of that country... what is worse??
You spelled 'our' wrong.
And I guess you can't find to many Christian theological gov't run countries eh.
OK, so everyone but me has universally agreed that this kind of thing is wrong. I know you all want to have this "Islam vs. West" debate for the 100th time, so should I not bother hoping someone will try to explore the real question further? I don't see anyone explaining why an "eye for an eye" attitude towards punishment in unjust.
Isn't justice practical?
I really don't know how else to answer your question. I don't support capital punishment, and although I do support incarceration. the state of our penal system, makes incarceration an almost cruel and unjust punishment.
An eye for an eye, really is just vengeance. Justice would be better served if he was made to wait on her hand and foot, if you asked me.
I agreed with your other post, I believe this punishment, is more likely to cause greater harm, than anything remotely like justice.
