With regards to the OP’s point: Jesus was very clear about how to deal with people who held anti-human ideologies. Try your best to convince them of the error of their ways first, but if that proves impossible, strike them down mercilessly.
Read your bible, dude. And return to the church. Everyone is waiting for you!
Read your bible. There’s plenty of passages. Just because I cannot recite chapter and verse does not mean I’m making it up.
It’s not our job to judge in place of God. Yes. But it’s clearly stated that it is our job to cultivate our societies in accordance with God’s teachings. Thus, you’ll find in the bible passages describing punishments befitting child molesters, murderers, theives, moneylenders, etc, because those people do harm to our societies. This is completely different from God’s judgement. Is your assertion that we should not judge these people?
And if we do judge these people, why are you equating that with dehumanizing them? They knowingly committed their crimes. They made their bed.
As for:
I am not a pacifist, and would use lethal force if there were absolutely no other option. It's something I hope to never do.
I literally pointed out that Jesus taught us to live exactly like that. And that that teaching in no way contradicts the meme that OP posted because (as any rational person knows) these people are on the verge of having left us no other option.

Read the bible and return to your church. Jesus Christ came to save you too. And you are worthy of being saved, never doubt that!
