Ever wondered how Ancient Israel dealt with criminals without a massive concrete and reinforced-steel prison system that we utilise today? Believe it or not, the idea of punishing criminals with prison time is a very recent (and materialistic) phenomenon. Up until 200 years ago, a ‘prison’ meant a place where those accused of serious crimes were held until their trial. I’ve put together a plastic-toy slideshow in Facebook to give you an introduction as to how this fascinating ‘eye-for-an-eye’ or ‘proportional restitution’ based crime and punishment system operated. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=6537196022&set=a.6437351022.19076.533841022&type=3&theater

This is a good pro-death penalty arguement for the modern days. Many Catholics are debating the subject. Back then it wasn't a thing to debate about tho. Everyone was pro death penalty on the principle of retributism/expiation. They want to kill the unborn but defend the wicked? Come now.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

This man just summed up the problem of modern Liberalism in the most beautiful way I've ever heard. Certainly, secularism has ailed us for decades, and we have all been taught to accept it as though it were common sense. This is the one thing I hate most about living in America.

Such a rich treatment of this subject in one little article by Leiws! I wonder what he would say in our time when not only has the use of the Humanitarian Theory only grown, its proponents have now co-opted a version of the Old Way in which rights and duties are "subjectively objective."

I remember when this video first appeared, it made me a firm retributist. C. S. Lewis puts the idea so eloquently and gave so many great examples, that I just thought it made obvious sense! It also made me look critically at my own country’s system and I learned that a lot of what is usually said in favour of the humanitarian prison system, doesn’t give the benefits they claim to. Truly, Lewis had a brilliant mind for his time!

Always enjoy these doodles over narrations of C.S. Lewis’ work. Every work feels like I need to listen to it multiple times to fully absorb it. Thanks as always Edit: 12:48 I’ve heard the quote on tyranny before, had no idea where it was from. Learn something new everyday

This is a wonderful essay of Lewis’s. He touches on this topic again in Abolition of Man and That Hideous Strength.

That last line is especially chilling. That Lewis had to have something published in a (former) colony because the motherland would not even begin to hear of it (despite the fact that it welcomed his chats during the War) is telling of just how bad England became societally even back then. And we know just how bad it has gotten today, since the BBC is well-known for its being the mouthpiece of those same people Lewis exposed back in that day.
