But is he a Smitty?

Like everything, context is the issue. It is easy to "proof-text" with the Bible and prove just about anything. This is not a Bible forum, but each of the examples above are shallowly given to attempt to prove something that is not in the context of the total lesson from the passage.

Nowhere does the Bible teach that someone who commits a crime is to be forgiven of the consequences of that crime. The Biblical principle of forgiveness is between the person who is wronged and the one who committed the wrong, but it does not remove the consequences if the wrong is also a crime.

The Bible also teaches the responsibility of parents to protect and guard their children.

And, finally, American society is not a Christian society in the sense that you are trying to demand. Most of American society operates by, at best, agnostic principles. Certainly, general public opinion fanned on by media outlets cannot be described as remotely Christian.
