I believe that capital punishment - society legally killing another person through the courts for a heinous crime, such as murder, - is our being just as guilty and sinful as the murderer. I submit to you that revenge is not the same as justice! Yes, of course, remove the gross offender from society so that he cannot harm anyone else, but literally killing the offender is not justified in a truly moral society. When I see people so emotionally calling for the death penalty as "justice" for the criminal, my perception is that I am seeing people wanting revenge. Evaluate what you see for yourself. Yes, I feel strongly for the victims and their families - but it is also true that "two wrongs don't make a right!"
Is a person who would make such a decision as
to murder another person really going to be deterred by capital
punishment?
