Are you saying that you would be defending the practice of stoning if God wasn't ok with it? Would you say that a man should be stoned for something as petty cursing Zeus?)

SoM,
To cut to the chase I'm saying that I wouldn't care about stoning at all if I were not a Christian. I'm a Christian, therefore I'm not my old self(who would be playing video games, drinking vault, and eating pizza right now). Stoning matters to me because I want to understand God, and God has an opinion on stoning.

I think that a man should get whatever God judges he should get.

I'm not understanding this. The scene where I thought someone was being stoned was less than thirty seconds long and I don't actually see anyone being stoned. I just see lots of people lined up. Then I see a man being whipped. Then buried. The brutality is less than is seen in a bull fight, the pain less than someone shot in a war, and the duration is tiny compared to people who have a terminal infection. I'm not saying that stoning is something small, I'm saying that stoning from this video doesn't look like the worst way in the world to go. Am I missing something?

Here are my thoughts simply.

Stoning in the Bible is probably not what Muslims do.
Stoning is probably painful, but very short.

I'd like someone to show me how stoning in the Bible is unnecessarily torturous, and not only a form of execution.

Key words being IN THE BIBLE. If you can help me with this, thanks. I'm not seeing it.
