The pedophiles DO deserve the death penalty but the problem with this reaction is that we haven't cleaned out our corrupt court system so promote this now and expect innocent Christians to be specifically targeted, falsely accused, unfairly tried, and unjustly executed.
What haven't you learned yet?
The courts cannot be fixed any more than government can.
The native american indians were far more advanced from a societal standpoint than we are today.
The whole concept of government started in babylon and sumer was a major step backwards for humanity.
The ancient Hebrews had judges.
They became covetous of foreign nations and whined that they wanted a king too, so God gave them Saul.
Saul was supposed to eliminate all the demonic giants but he didn't do what God said.
That's when God took away Saul's power and made David king.
But before Saul when the people had judges, they used God as their guidance, consulting the ephod's ummim and thurmin (stones) to discern what God would have them do.
It was a sort of governance relying on God.
When the people rejected God's governance in lieu of a human one, is when their internal troubles began.
And I suppose the nations whose systems they coveted
were probably those you mention, of the Sumerians
