And, in the long-ago era of 1994, a man got 18 months for murdering his wife, and the judge was upset he had to give him even that much, because, you know, she cheated on him, therefore her husband killing her was appropriate:

This was in that barbaric nation known as the State of Maryland. |
I don't see the article saying anything about the Judge in the Maryland case being Christian. If he is Christian, I thought you said that Christians are more likely to give the death penalty. This judge was lenient. He sounds like a liberal to me. I'm surprised he's not your favorite judge.
I have a question for you. If you did a poll right now and asked people what the punishment should be for murdering a cheating spouse, do you think that Christians would be more lenient on the killer than non-Christians? I don't think that would be the case. I think it would actually be the opposite. So I'm not sure what your point was.
