atelo... being the religious type... done you believe that only god has the right to take away life? that they will get their just deserts in heaven?

honestly thats why I believe the death penalty is wrong


The problem with that is you have no way of proving what will happen after they die, or how a god or gods would treat there actions.

no but belief and faith in god should be enough, they should merely be kept away from other members of society to prevent them from damaging or destroying anyone else's life

You know, its a good thing in your world that no one ever escapes from prison and there is no such thing as murder between inmates or no inmate has ever killed a guard or warden. I envy your wonderful little perfect world.

You know how you keep them away from society? Put 'em in a coffin.

For what?

Mindless following because you think your right isn't good enough for me. All the people who have been killed by murderers after there conviction didn't have to die.
You'll have to excuse me, because I can see no reason why people should die for some religious sensability that the religion historicly does not keep to its self.

Your god has openly supported war, check the little black book.

Granted, he does not support killing.

But hell, I'm not doing the killing.

Many people make the mistake of believing the Bible says, “You shall not kill,” and seek to apply this command to war. However, the Bible actually says, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). The Hebrew word literally means “the intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice.” God often ordered the Israelites to go to war with other nations (1 Samuel 15:3; Joshua 4:13). God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes (Exodus 21:12; 21:15; 22:19; Leviticus 20:11). So, God is not against killing in all circumstances, but rather only murder. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. In a world filled with sinful people (Romans 3:10-1Cool, war is inevitable. Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm is by going to war with them.

No bear, its no interpretation its what it says.
Just like it says the number of the devil is 616 and jesus came back from the dead.

Quite close to where it says that a man should not forsake his wife for anouther man it says bad children should be stoned to death.

You can't use religion to back up your point unless you are a budist.

666 if im not mistaken

its my belief that god is against murder

yes it is wrong to kill someone and be a murderer, but it is wrong to kill someone and be a professional too

logically ... what kind of psycho signs up for that job anyway

Mistranslation, 616 you'll find.

Look bear, if you want to give your money to a Genocidal psycopathical killer that your choice, I prefer to keep the cash for paying teachers and the NHS.
