nope, it's not my place to punish sinners and I don't think someone else can hurt my religious sentiments. If someone is not respectful of my beliefs it might tick me off but it doesn't affect my beliefs.

No, punishment is not mine to give out. We are all sinners. Some of us are saved by God's grace and our acceptance by faith in his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, while others never make that acceptance and remain sinners, separated from God for all eternity. Christ taught that as he suffered so would we, so why should I punish someone who differs in my beliefs or sentiments? Vengeance is His, I'm just to be available to someones vengeance if that is what they find to be necessary.

it is not for me to punish someone for sinning...that is up to God...what i have been commanded to do is to forgive that person, as God forgives me my own sins...as for 'hurting my religious sentiments", i don't think that could happen...my feelings can be hurt, but that heals...
"for i am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8: 38, 39

Brown Id Girl: its Karma.
punishment is an act of establishing your superiority by judging others and trying to control... its unnecessary and illogical.

To pray for that person. God in the Old Testament says that vengence is His. Repaying is in His hands and not in mine

no, it's not up to us to punish. that's a higher being. if you punish, you will be punished. that's the way it works.
