    You have to be sinless to chuck the first stone, so the early church would drag people off and stab them in the alley. (Incidentally, this was how Jews took care of it at the time because Roman’s kind of frowned on other people getting in on it,)

    When the church became a power… they switched to burnings, hangings and other “creative” ways to torture people to death.
