spiderbulgaria: I think there was one symbolic death, i think they called him Jesus. That didn't do much good, did it.
why did His death do no good 4 u?
it has for millions of other people

Christians believe the death of Jesus was part of a divine plan to save humanity . Didn't work did it, have you seen the state of the world, what a bleeding mess we have made of it. Christians killing in the name of God, what's that all about. So called Christians believing in the death penalty. The value of human life has been forgotten.
times and life has changed since jesus time
his death was not in vain
god killed his own son in the name of god
and its not only christians who kill
u seem to have a bit of a problem with that religion

Zeelander: I have to agree.... Clinton was great, not for what he did, but but for what he didn't screw up because of lack of time playing golf and screwing anything with a pulse..... why do you think Al Gore has that lisp?
your on fire today zee!!
velvetUG: your on fire today zee!!
OMG... get the water
kkitty2: This is a touchy subject and I sit and think to myself that killing is wrong no matter who it is done by and for whatever the reason.
Then again let somebody kill someone that I love.....
well then I have to say an eye for an eye
I guess what I feel is when my heart tells me its wrong one way and then its right the other go figure

Indeed
When it comes down to God and the death penalty, all I can say is God uses people to get things done.
thats the truth

I have a problem with most religions, you don't have to be religolous to be a good person or to have standards of life.

u brought religion into the thread not i
no one mentioned having standards the topic is the death penalty not religion and not life standards
George625: strongly against it, too many mistakes in legal process... on the other hand I believe prison time should be much harder time, especially for crimes which involve violence, not mini holidays. The French and Russians had the right idea with penal camps and gulags... and life sentences should mean life sentences.

What kind of god is that who kills his own son? No wonder so many Christians think that you bring live by killing. Maybe that teaching needs a couple of amendments.
Zeelander: I think these are the innocents that are being wrongly convicted that you are talking about.
or should they be sentenced to a horrible life?? just playing devils advocate

I'm glad you are playing devils advocate too.... everyone should at some point

God didn't kill his son-we did! God rose him up 3 days later. Like the last chick said-this forum is about the death penalty. Maybe you should read the bible before committing further about what Christians believe because you obviously don't know.

Did god really need to kill His son though? come on...it is not really easy to raise a son!

How rude
heatherhuntsman: How rude
I think you are talking about Gandalf instead
God = Love
forgiveness sets you free but then again you can't beat a good hanging

mnowsa: With all due respect, even if i agree with you just for the sake of debate, i just don't the way you are opting to celebrate a "killing". And this kind of mentality of yours towards a human life ( or should i say death?) scares me more than the death/killing itself. this kind of attitude shows that killing is absolutely ok and a normal thing in a society if one chooses to celebrate it. please try to understand that if, god forbid, a very loved one of yours is sentenced to death and the family of victims is celebrating his/her death right in front of you or around you. Please try to act or sound sober when talking about death.
With all due respect to you also If these people who without thought or concience take a life so effortlessly knew the ramifications of their actions WILL result in their CERTAIN death then you can bet the numbers of crimes would drop !
Innocent lives spared . childrens futures assured
These animals do this because they know even if they get caught they do less time than if they stole a car !
we teach our children about conciquences for our actions yet our laws show offenders Its really not so bad !!
Punishments should fit the crimes !!!

I have killed no one and do not plan to anytime soon. I will say this again in this thread as I have everyday ......murder is murder weather the state does it or a person does it......killing is wrong ,war is wrong,murder is wrong. Dont understand it ,don't want to ,and none of you can make me ....... i'm not sure if i believe in the death penalty, however, crimes against children especially are sickening, and death penalty or not, there should be severe repercussions for them.
shootingstar77: So I am compared to a viking or an extermist , well let me say, I am darn proud you compared me to that.
I did in fact do that...
Sorry, what I meant is that way of thinking around the responsibility of effects of taking someone life is the same.I do not wish you to be compared to extremists, I suppose you have an ordinary life like most of us.
The note was to show you what I worry about, that if we easily hand over the judging to some kind of afterlife judge, we are suddenly in a position to do whatever we like without showing neither mercy nor respect to anyone around us.
Because that is what they do and they say that all will be sorted in the after life. That is scary.
Sorry for making things sound like an accusation, not meant to be.
