A state that has capital punishment says what?

Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of God

Atlas died and got reincarnated as the word "wrongfully" in this sentence.

Humans are DEFINITELY equipped to decide which deaths will incur the wrath of God and which deaths he would approve. We perfectly understand the infinite, that's like basic Christianity. /ssssssss

This reads to me like an admission that, since we apparently know for sure of God's wrath, there is literally no purpose to punishing crimes. I mean, surely a murderer wouldn't dream of doing it a second time, when they logically know for sure that their afterlife would then be upgraded from regular Hell up to Double Hell, which as we all know is a misnomer of a name due to it being easily 50x worse than regular Hell. Therefore, recidivism is a myth and we would just be overcomplicating the person's actual punishment. So it's actually barbaric to punish literally any crime.

Another take is that no deaths are wrongful because they're all part of God's plan - if he wanted to stop it, he could have, which means he chose not to. QED abortion is God's will.

How do laywers not just have a field day with this stuff?

There is that one example where a woman successfully appealed her HOV lane citation because she was pregnant. We might see more as these rulings get made, but I imagine a lot of them won't be successful because the theocrats have declared calvinball rules when it comes to this stuff, and it's just as easy to come up with a made-up reason for the rule not to apply in a given case.
