Our community faces a chilling moral crisis: the willingness of leaders to treat the execution of a child of God as public entertainment, and the horrifying proposal that state-sanctioned killing should be broadcast into our homes.
Proponents often dismiss our outrage with a simple, “If you don’t want to see it, just don’t watch.” Yet many of these same voices advocate banning drag shows or censoring books under the banner of protecting public morality. Why is harmless self-expression deemed too dangerous for public eyes, while the state-sanctioned taking of human life is casually suggested—or threatened—as a media spectacle?
Even as political leaders back away from televising death, the fact that public execution was proposed and considered at all reveals a deep spiritual sickness. Treating legal killing as a potential broadcast event or political theater does not deliver justice—it desensitizes our hearts, degrades our shared humanity, and weaponizes violence as entertainment.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to be peacemakers, not spectators to violence. Christ consistently stood with the condemned, rejecting the spectacle of public punishment and exposing the cruelty of retributive systems.
We cannot remain silent while state-sanctioned violence is normalized or leveraged for political showmanship. True justice seeks healing, accountability, and redemption—not vengeance, sensationalism, or the weaponization of death. The impulse to make a spectacle of human execution is an affront to human dignity and a direct betrayal of the Gospel of love.
We urge you to speak out, pray for peace, and demand an immediate end to the rhetoric and policies that reduce human life to violent political theater. Let us build a culture that honors life, embodies compassion, and boldly chooses mercy over violence.
Shalom,
Paul
P.S. Here’s a thought: How about broadcasting the complete release of the Epstein Files? Now that’s something I want to see!
