Today I saw a few posts about someone called Tanner Horner being sentenced to death for murdering a seven year old girl and decided to search for more information about what it was about.

There is a room for discussion about whether death penalty should be an option at all, but if we assume that it's an acceptable type of punishment, I guess, such cases are the most appropriate ones, where it should be used.

But what this post is about... While reading about this case I didn't see any crowdfunding started for him, didn't see comments or opinions claiming that ''he was a good boy and couldn't do it, or even if he did it, he did because of centuries of something, something'', or how ''he's not mentally fit for trial and should be treated for couple of years and then released''.

Everything seems normal - everyone acknowledges the severity of the crime and that he should be punished harshly, as it should be.

So, what's the reason for there being so many cases not like this one? Are some groups in society incapable of accepting justice, when the wrongdoer is someone from their own group? Is it culture or something else?

Would you agree that Christianity is an ideology that tries to make the weak ones stronger by taking from the stronger ones? And it works both on individual and societal levels.

Should strong societies abandon Christianity for ideologies that help to keep that strength, like a nationalism, because otherwise in long term Christianity is going to destroy it? Like we can see it in Europe now.

Why would someone choose Christianity, a religion coming from the Middle East, over other ideologies that are more compatible with the way their ancestors lived? I'm not referring specifically to paganism, although it's one of possibilities. There are also other ideologies/ways of living, including secular conservative ones.

Why would a person become a Christian, when Christianity is against their roots?
