I'm a bit conflicted on the concept... on one hand I agree they should be killed, on the other I wonder if removing their chance of repentence is what Christ would want us to do? If imprisonment or other forms of correction are an option, I'd probably always take it. Perhaps God inspires the right people at the right times, to pull off some good ol' Otoya Yamaguchi?
Most of you probably have no idea what Im talking about. Goku rarely if ever killed any of his enemies. And they were all hellbent on destroying entire planets. Most of his enemies join up to fight WITH him later against even stronger enemies. Although they usually have different motives.
I do like that sentiment, but its just not reality.
If every good person was a pacifist, it wouldnt be long before only evil ruled the world.
Exactly. What’s the quote of “Evil wins when good men do nothing”, or something like that? Turning the other cheek just presents a fresh, brand new target that NEVER ends well for good.
I think that too much Evil has been done by the bleeding hearts allowing it to happen, in one name or another. That’s why BLM, Antifa, etc gained so much power, imo, along with Soros’ money. A good self defence (good ‘ole Rittenhouse), and maybe a couple of memorable spankings by parents on little spoiled brats mixed with some ‘tough love” would do a heck of a lot more good than allowing Evil to spread by waiting for a god or his avatar to punish them.
Super nerd alert as I was a huge fan of dragonball Z as a kid. Goku tended to want to believe in the better nature of people to a fault, but anyone who betrayed that he would go on to attack. Two examples being when his brother asked for mercy and then Goku sacrificed himself to get him killed, and when Freeza did the same thing, Goku attacked with intent to kill him (but he somehow survived in space to become a cyborg). Many he didn't attempt to kill he had disabled like Vegeta's right hand man or the Ginyu force and they were no longer a threat, or he wasn't able to kill like Cell and supported and encouraged someone who was strong enough to kill him.
Point being, Goku doesn't have one of those no kill codes but he's merciful. Once someone is neutralized as a threat he sees no reason to keep being violent towards them. That's why if someone refuses to repent or just has no inclination to repent at all he works towards either injuring them to the point of neutralization or if they're too dangerous even then, killing them. Probably the only exception here is Vegeta. But you could argue Vegeta never really betrayed the mercy he was shown. I don't think Goku is a great example of what Qtoad was talking about

Usually in the comics they never repent.
