1. God Fearing vs. Good Manners

   My Dear Cyber friend Viktor, I respect your passion for religion. I am not particularly religious, but I do believe in a higher order .. if you will. I think it's this "will" that drives us to have laws to protect each other from primitive natural instincts. Without these laws we might think it's ok to bonk someone on the head because we "honestly" don't like the look of them. So God willing or God fearing, we have decided on a moral order in a civil society. And as different as I imagine you and I are, I believe we agree on this issue. It was wrong for the person to have an affair - and doubly wrong to admit to it for money on television and destroy her husband. I'd say the latter is worse than the affair itself. Would you agree? ~Sue

2. God's Law?

   Viktor, I'm confused at how anyone could know what "God's Law" is. We can only aspire to live good lives. I don't know if the doctor in question is good or bad. All I'm saying is let's give him an opportunity to say something. Again, I am worried about your tone. Who are you to determine a death sentence? Who are any of us to do that?? My dear cyber friend, I have lost many loved ones to violent crimes. And I'm grateful for my ability to forgive the terrible act - and pray the person will redeem themself. I lived in Palestine for a year ... and regularly prayed that one terrible act would go un-avenged. Isn't that what a civilized society is about? ~Sue

3. What does Svensson have to say?

   I believe if we aspire to be civilized we should rehabilitate criminals and forgive. I believe a person can change. However, the crime Hellekant-Svensson was convicted of is distressing. Neo-Nazism ideology is toxic. My beloved fiance was murdered in Denmark by skin-heads. The Danish government did nothing to acknowledge the hate-factor. So I have no idea where the killers are now. But in Svenssons' case, he has gone through medical school ... it suggests he wants to help others. What does he have to say now? Does he want to redeem himself? Is he a good doctor?
