I say that God put in place a government to protect the rest, that has the right to say if someone should die if he/she breaks the rules. God is a just God and believes in consequences of one's actions. Just as our sin has an eternal death consequence outside of Christ. The opposite of this is Grace, and this is what McVeigh experienced for the years he was in jail(and hopefully he came to know Christ). Playing God is no one's role, however protecting the innocent and making sure justice prevails on this earth is something God is in favor of. Timothy is getting exactly what he deserves in my opinion.
