Would a God that I want to worship allow people to be treated like this (see clip below) in His name? The answer for me is pretty simple - not so much.
From Reuters...
Amnesty International on Tuesday called on Iran to abolish the "grotesque and horrific" practice of stoning people to death.
Amnesty, which opposes the death penalty under any circumstances, said an Iranian man had been stoned to death in July last year for committing adultery, despite a moratorium being imposed on such executions in 2002.
The woman he was convicted of committing adultery with still faces the threat of being stoned, a practice that involves the woman being buried up to her breasts in sand and then pelted with stones until she dies.
"Iranian law prescribes that the stones are deliberately chosen to be large enough to cause pain, but not so large as to kill the victim immediately ... It is a particularly grotesque and horrific practice."
