What you seek is justice. And I agree that that is valid. I think the bible is pretty clear about motive and sin. To wish death on someone is immoral, from my understanding of the bible. To enact justice on the immoral is justified and proper. If you enact the penalty of death upon a criminal, you are in no way wishing for their death. They have brought that burden upon themselves. Justice is not an emotion, a wish implies one.
I agree with you. Your answer was rational and well said.
Well stated. And a great use of logical thought. Thanks for posting.
