Original sentence: Critics have accused such a view of being rigid and-or cruel, though supporters maintain that the Old Testament law is the embodiment of perfect morality and that, by that same count, no other moral authority is able to stand in judgment over it.Other critics, who do not in principle object to abandoning that interpretation, consider that Reconstruction would in practice result in the domination of the church by the state or vice versa, contrary to the stated goals of Reconstructionists.Some prominent advocates of Christian Reconstructionism have made it clear that, according to their understanding, the Old Testament law sometimes positively sanctions the death penalty for active homosexuals, adulterers, and perhaps even recalcitrant children (or teenagers).Supporters of Christian Reconstructionism claim that they draw a distinction between the legislation of beliefs and of actions, and that they do no promote the use of privation of life, liberty or health for the advance of their movement.They observe that Christian Reconstructionism would entail abandoning a popular interpretation of the principle of separation of church and state
