This seems like more of a proscription against older, still-at-home kids. "This our son can't hold down a job, plays WOW all day, and doesn't know any nice girls to make grandkids with. Get the rocks." Hikikomori of the US, beware ..

Well, you have to respect his philosophical integrity at least. The book tells him to do that, and he is going to do it.

Funny thing: is he being a good christian? He is simply pushing for what the Judeo-Christian god commands.

But, these are the problems that come with believing in a magical sky father because illiterate and uneducated middle eastern sheperds also did.

If children were stoned to death for rebellious behavior, very few would survive adolescence and make it into adulthood.

@2: Nah, I seriously doubt he keeps kosher. Another cherry-picker.

Aaaaaaaand they'll elect the nutball.

Post-term abortion?

To paraphrase Soupy Sales, this should keep the little bastards quiet.

I'd be ok with this.

Wait - are we having a Slog Bible study? On a Tuesday?

And this is the Word of God, what God, in all his wisdom and mercy, commands us to do?

Isn't there something in that book about not judging lest ye be judged? He's not even elected, and power has corrupted absolutely. Sounds like top of the RNC ticket for 2016.

Stone him with stones seems a bit repetitive. What the fuck else would you stone him with?

@13 marijuana?

But yeah, this guy. It's okay though! He's pro-life!!

Well it's not the worst idea in the world.

@13 - That is the King James Version, which is a horrible, horrible translation that was more interested in the sound and poetry of the language than accurate translation. The New Revised Standard Version, which most mainline Protestant denominations consider to be the most scholarly translation says, "Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death."

Rational people, Christian or not, would not think that this is something that should apply today, and there is some debate among scholars about how strictly the Deuteronomic laws were ever followed.

@13,
A packet of gravel?

This is currently being done all over the U.S. but bullets have replaced stones and the "men of the city" are called cops.

Sharia law isn't so bad if there's an Old Testament precedent.

I'm sure properties near rock quarries would maintain their pre-End Times values, at best.
