And let me go ahead and "drop the other shoe". To what extend should the State prosecute those found guilty of adultery? - To the fullest extent of Biblical Law. Yes, that means the death penalty, but only in so far as the State is Biblically oriented and has the proper laws enacted (i.e. laws that align with "The Law").

Maybe not the death penalty, but one things for sure. There should be penaltys for adultery that would make your ears tingle. Maybe something along multi thouand dollar fines with jailtime and public flogging.
