Vigilantism

I've been thinking about vigilantism recently... Thanks to movies such as The Boondock Saints, V for Vendetta and other such amazing films, my mind has been captured by the notion of an individual taking it upon himself to ensure that evil is dealt with as it deserves. What's God's view on this? Due to the state my mind is in (check out the last post) I wonder what God thinks about vigilantism. Would God disagree with someone taking OJ Simpson out? I know I know, "Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord". Well first off, that's what the bible says God tells us... Still not sure about scripture in general or it's place in our lives (scary, I know). Secondly, suppose killing OJ isn't a vengeful act! Suppose some guy takes what scripture says (he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword), and kills the guy?. The new testament seems to say that the government is to be in charge of punishing these people, but what happens when they fail?

This seems to be one of those blogs where I just come across as confused... It's cause I am...

I think I'm going to start working out... Caleb might be going down an odd path...

God vs. Christianity

I know there's a god... Okay so that's not true... I *believe* there's a god due to experiences I've had where my senses have been touched by an entity I believe is a higher power. Short version being: I have *felt* god.

So I have no problem believing in God... I just have a problem accepting a definition of this God from Christianity. Or rather, the church, who is supposes to represent him on Earth.

More on this later...
