Love isn't everything, my friend. If somebody murders another and you don't enforce capital punishment, you're actually DEVALUING the life they took; you're actually validating that it's OK to do such things. There must be repercussions for people's actions; we're seeing the result all throughout America now b/c of weak-ass theology like what you're suggesting.
I go out in NC often...seems like people here are just trying to do the right thing; but yesterday people were genuinely happy to walk around massless and free.
