>devout Catholic>has no problem solving crimes whose perpetrators are sentenced to capital punishment
Thou Shall Not Kill. Well what's the penalty? DEATH.
>>219820552In 1920s when this was written, mainland Euro Catholics were largely pro-death penalty Integralists.
let us hear the catholic case for letting murderers go free rather than face capital punishment after a fair trial
>>219820552This is issue was solved thousands of years ago. It's only a problem now that retarded atheists have a voice when they deserve capital punishment most
>>219820639nothing wrong with holding someone to his own standard. i believe jesus said some fairly heated things about hypocrites.
>>219820639doesn’t apply at all Mr.Schizophrenic. I just want to talk about Poirot. Him being anti-death is a big point in Orient Express, but he is weirdly deferential to man’s law above god’s - as he’s okay with criminals being hung in his cases and that woman in Istanbul being stoned
>devout catholic>hasn't stopped the penis-stealing witches
>>219820663 said sorry so it’s okey now.
>>219820713sounds about right, remember to send the pope 30 pieces of silver to show you're really regretting it
>>219820552He's so cool
>>219820663pretty simple 'Love Thy Neighbour', 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' and do unto others as you would have done unto yourself to name but a few. Jesus also personally intervened to prevent capital punishments, like the stoning of an adulterer.
>>219820730>Yo lemme get an indulgence on this dick suckin real quick
>>219820552>”EVERYTHING CAN ONLY BE ONE THING AHHHHH I DONT UNDERSTAND IT OTHERWISE”People are nuanced.
>>219820751> Jesus also personally intervened to prevent capital punishments, like the stoning of an adulterer.Really? That’s interesting. So that’s why they included that exact situation in the beginning of Murder on the Orient Express. Deep lore
>>219820751but the position of poirot is fairly binary: the guilty go free and untried if he does not help. is that good?
>>219820797A lot of times he just talks them into killing themselves anyways
>>219820552I have never seen the movie in your pic btw and never will. I only enjoy the Russian remake of it.
>>219820797solving a crime isn't tantamount to passing the sentence, it is the Judge that recommends capital punishment and passes sentence. A Judge doesn't have to recommend capital punishment for murder, they might face criticism for leniency at worst.
>>219820626Thou shalt not murder is the direct translation from the Greek.
>>219820788Anon, your arts education has let you down, if you are in the West. I would implore you to at read the Bible at least once. It is the fundamental underpinning of western cultural mores, and especially in earlier days authors and artists would include such references and allusions in full confidence their audience would simply take it in their stride. All the more so if you have an interest in pre-20th century arts (arguably, pre-WW2, even)
>>219821585West doesn't exist anymore, he should probably read the Queueuran.
>>219821631the age of the west has only just begun, schizo.it will form the bedrock for cultures many centuries into the futureyou are among the lucky few to be born into this golden age, and you waste it away by seething at women and brownoids
>>219821822Sure, got any money to give me so I don't have to die in a ditch because AI and browns killed me economically?
>>219820688Cant do that without an actual knowledge of what your trying to attack. That's the issue. Atheists are fucking retards who are too stupid to realize they are lashing out because they can't get their way.
>>219821910if you get economically outplayed by a brownoid that doesnt even speak your language and an AI that hallucinates data then its your own fault
>>219822571How is it my own fault that companies are hiring brown immigrants that they get subsidies from the EU for, and won't hire locals for the same job? The quality of the work or the productivity or whatever doesn't matter, they get free money even when the browns just sit and don't do shit and don't speak any civilized language whatsoever. You obviously have no clue how things are in the world today.And retarded people (90%) are fine with AI generated anything. And guess what, it's being mandated from above and subsidized too. So what exactly can one do? What is your job king?
>>219820552So he should just let murderers go?>>219820753awful
>>219820552This is addressed in the books. In his last case Poirot is unable to prove the murderer is guilty so he murders the murderer and then stops taking his heart medication because directly killing a person goes against his faith.
>>219821585
>>219822835But he still does it… without seeking absolution even. Agatha Christie doesn’t seem to understand religion.
>>219822939you can't be absolved if you don't regret what you've done
>>219823068He killed himself as some kind of penance, which is also odd since it doesn’t mesh with his beliefs, just compounding mortal sins. I guess he just wanted to suffer for all time or something
>>219820552did you forget the millions of innocent people who were killed because of the catholic church?
>>219823190Infidels aren’t people
>>219820688There is something wrong with it when you're a faggot who doesn't actually know what he's talking about or even what the standard is.
>>219822939Agatha Christie was a member of the Church of England which was much less strict when it came to confession than Catholicism. It's a bit of a plot hole but I forgive her because Agatha Christie wrote the book in a rush because she was afraid she was going to die in the Blitz and she wanted a manuscript ready for publishing so her kids could have the profits as inheritance.
>>219823169I'm not saying it's a good argument but he did it in such a way that Christie said it wasn't technically suicide. He put the pills in a place that he would not be able to reach if he had a heart attack and then died of a heart attack.
>>219823320I think the rule is intent. Like you can’t trick god like that he can read your mind.
>>219820699Women should be stoned. They’re all whores anyway. Let’s bring stoning whores back into vogue. We can start with your mom.
>>219823384My moms been dead about 9 years now
>>219823362I agree personally. She intended it to be a noble sacrifice but it could have been handled better.
>last days of the Biden admin>he releases a long statement condemning the death penalty, saying it's against his religion, saying nobody has the right to condemn a person by taking their life, saying it's state-sanctioned murder and a stain on the country>therefore he's commuting the sentence of literally every single prisoner on federal death row...>...except the Boston Marathon bomber, the guy who shot up that black church, and the guy who shot up the synagogue, because commuting any of their sentences would have been political suicidePerfect representation of what went wrong with Biden
>>219820552He's not the one sentencing them to death
>>219823427>
