Show him what hell looks like for 10 years, then deport him.

Doing so would probably violate his human rights....

I don't think our prisons are closer to heaven.

On a spiritual level I see what he's saying but really, it's no moral or legal defence.

Russ, If we accept just one case on religious grounds, you open the floodgates for all sorts of excuses. Its against the law, Jail him.

No Excuses, No Vaseline.:td:

So, it's not a case of the Alcohol bringing out the nasty side of his personality? It will be such a relief to those women whose husbands come home tanked up on Lager and knock seven shades out of them that it's not the Alcohol causing them to get a beating, but Satan.

I do not believe Russ was trying to say that we should accept the case on religious grounds..

It's just a poor excuse for his actions. probably thinks he'll get off more lightly for blaming something other than himself.

evil actions are your own doing. the devil he talks of is his own evil self.

I haven't said he shouldn't be jailed.

Don't you think it's a little (more than a little actually) pointless of you to try and sell that one on me? Please don't try to impose your beliefs on me.

WTH are you going on about now?
you quoted evil actions are your own doing. the devil he talks of is his own evil self. so I presume you believe in the devil. am I to assume that you believe the devil did make him rape the woman and not his own desires?

I`m certain he wasn`t. I was just pointing out the pitfalls of such a scenario.:)

It would be difficult to believe in Jesus without also accepting his nemesis. And no, I do not believe the devil 'made' him do anything. He may have offered the man the temptation to do it, but nobody held a physical or spiritual gun to his head and commanded him or controlled his actions. So far neither has he said the devil made him do it which, for not the first time are words YOU have added.
