Thou Shall Not Kill. Well what's the penalty? DEATH.

>>219820552
In 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

>>219820552
This 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

>>219820639
nothing wrong with holding someone to his own standard. i believe jesus said some fairly heated things about hypocrites.

>>219820639
doesn’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

said sorry so it’s okey now.

>>219820713
sounds about right, remember to send the pope 30 pieces of silver to show you're really regretting it

>>219820552
He's so cool

>>219820663
pretty 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.

People are nuanced.

Really? That’s interesting. So that’s why they included that exact situation in the beginning of Murder on the Orient Express. Deep lore

>>219820751
but the position of poirot is fairly binary: the guilty go free and untried if he does not help. is that good?

>>219820797
A lot of times he just talks them into killing themselves anyways

I have never seen the movie in your pic btw and never will. I only enjoy the Russian remake of it.

>>219820797
solving 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.

>>219820626
Thou shalt not murder is the direct translation from the Greek.

Anon, 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)

>>219821585
West doesn't exist anymore, he should probably read the Queueuran.

>>219821631
the age of the west has only just begun, schizo.
it will form the bedrock for cultures many centuries into the future
you are among the lucky few to be born into this golden age, and you waste it away by seething at women and brownoids

>>219821822
Sure, got any money to give me so I don't have to die in a ditch because AI and browns killed me economically?

>>219820688
Cant 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.

>>219821910
if you get economically outplayed by a brownoid that doesnt even speak your language and an AI that hallucinates data then its your own fault

>>219822571
How 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?

>>219820552
So he should just let murderers go?

>>219820753
awful

>>219820552
This 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.

But he still does it… without seeking absolution even. Agatha Christie doesn’t seem to understand religion.

>>219822939
you can't be absolved if you don't regret what you've done

>>219823068
He 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

>>219820552
did you forget the millions of innocent people who were killed because of the catholic church?

>>219823190
Infidels aren’t people

>>219820688
There 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.

>>219822939
Agatha 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.

>>219823169
I'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.

>>219823320
I think the rule is intent. Like you can’t trick god like that he can read your mind.

>>219820699
Women should be stoned. They’re all whores anyway. Let’s bring stoning whores back into vogue. We can start with your mom.

>>219823384
My moms been dead about 9 years now

>>219823362
I 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 suicide

Perfect representation of what went wrong with Biden

>>219820552
He's not the one sentencing them to death
