FILE – This undated file image released by the Tennessee Department of Correction shows death row inmate Don Johnson. Pressure from religious leaders for Tennessee’s governor to grant mercy to the death row inmate mounted on Monday, May 13, 2019, as the U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider an appeal that could have delayed his upcoming execution. Johnson’s petition for clemency has centered on his religious conversion and Christian ministry to other prisoners. He is scheduled to be executed Thursday, May 16 for the 1984 murder of his wife, Connie Johnson. (Tennessee Department of Corrections via AP, File)Would Gov. Bill Lee execute King David, too?
Or Moses?
Would he send St. Paul to the death chambers? Sign the execution orders that would pump his body full of poison until his heart stopped beating?
After all, these three men – Moses, Paul, David – killed other men.
Why not kill them in return?
