be it in the form of shelters funded by the government or private institutions such as churches

Ans what pays for shelters?

That's not an actual punishment

Churches

Like it already is today

the government or a collection of individual(s) paying for their private property

That's sweeping the problem under the rug

Churches in the US are rich and powerful. Dat' ain't the case everywere

How is staying in a shelter sweeping it under the rug?

Plus, it means givng power to churches, including educating people in these shelters

i'd hardly say the churches in america are too powerful and affluent, especially compared to places such as russia

@Solid Snake Plissken I'm talking about killing criminals

considering there are about a hundred different denominations in here, while there is only one in russia

Dude shelters already exist

@bink ya don't know churches in France, do ya? <a:party_parrot:583246247675035648>

They are literally already around and run by chuches

are they taxed there

Church in Russia being powerful? I've never heard of that one

They feed you and everything

In America anyways

@Boo depends on what. But on ethical things, clearly

The church in Russia is very close to the government

They are a tool for outside and inside politics

And often serves as a mouthpiece for Putin

So yeah, in itself, they are powerful. But not as Poutine

For now.

It may change, who knows?

Okay everyone lets stop talking about churches solving problems cause that's just stupid

Yup

Okay maybe this idea is subject to some change on the stealing part

It needs a more religious society

Do you honestly think that enough people have the goodwill to donate to churches?

Which brings to few problems...

Churches can only function ideally in a religious society.

Maybe only kill if they are armed when they steal

Liked armed robbery

Churches as they are, are incompatible with a secular and irreligious society.

And especially without a religious government in place.

Well how're you gonna turn a society religous?

Idk the stealing part is hard but the rape and murder is non negotonable

You can't force someone to do it
