Larry Kilgore; Republican.

[Burning_Ember]

Some people think that Larry Kilgore is a great candidate for Governator of Texas. I mean why wouldn't he be? Some would say he is the ideal Christian candidate.

Strictly in favour of an eye for an eye, there. If someone murders, they will be killed. Or commits adultery, for that matter.

But don't worry! Once public floggings are instituted for Fornication, Sexually suggest dress, vulgar language, or posession of pornography, Texas will be much more safe.

Not only that, but "Indentured Servitude" is ok, if you stole and can't pay the person back.

And once Texas secedes from the US, cuts all funding to health and human services, the prison system, and public education, The Republic of Texas will flourish.

But really, let all the prisoners go, halt standardized education and cut all funding for healthcare?

I'm hoping everyone here is just as revulsed as I am. If anybody does agree with what he says, then I'd be glad to understand why. Especially those last bits.

Those 2 things would be a breath of fresh air. But don't worry--they won't happen.

I meant the last 2 things, halt standardized education and cut all funding for health care. In other words, get the government out.

Not really sure what to say. He's interesting. No, it will never happen but it's actually a frightening prospect. What would we do if our culture was put in charge of that kind of "justice"

I would PRAISE GOD for it!

Hello Everyone,

I joined this forum because I saw you discussing Larry Kilgore, a godly man, who is running for US Senate in the March GOP Primary in Texas.

I am Mr. Kilgore's media coordinator, and I will be most blessed to answer any questions you may have.

We also have a campaign blog: http://electlarrykilgore.blogspot.com/ which you are most welcome to visit.

Thank you,

Wow... this kind of scares me. It's like a theocracy led by man. Praise the Lord that he won't be voted in. I thought God wanted free will, not man given the power to judge who deserves to be whipped and who deserves to be killed.

Dear KeilanS,

Why would living in a nation under God scare you? As Christians, the law of the LORD is to be our delight. Mr. Kilgore is a Christian man who desires to restore Biblical law and God's order to Texas.

Forgive me but I do not believe Mr. Kilgore is God. We would be in a nation under Kilgore. I do not trust the judges to determine who should live and die and I do not feel comfortable with them being able to flog whoever they wish. How could that possibly be pulled off with no corruption. You'd get a woman turning down a judge who asks her out who just happens to be flogged for dressing suggestively the next week.

The problem is, among others, that we do not live under levitical code anymore. If we did, then why should Larry Kilgore stop with murder, stealing, false witness, and adultery, why not stone people for wearing poly/cotton blends?
