I think the answer here is the general aversion of the Rabbis to carrying out the death penalty.

Yeah...the church pulled the same routine during the inquisition. They would torture some poor bastard into confessing and then turn him over to the civil authorities to actually kill him so the holy joes didn't have to get their pious hands dirty.

Hypocrites.

BTW, no luck with your Friendly Atheist site. I never got a notice after applying. I can see why your membership is dropping.

Note the name of the site. The friendly filter likely kicked into overdrive when you applied.
