What a load of horse crap. We, as a civilized society, MUST put the price of innocent life as the pinnacle and state to those who deprive others of innocent life that NOTHING but their own life will recompense the victim. Christ never once argued against the death penalty, so your fallacious use of "Christian society" falls flat.
He who takes another's life unjustly loses his own right to life.
“What a load of horse crap”
Exactly, we need to purge our whole legal system of the “RIghtWardHos” of this country. Absolute limits need to be placed on “appeals” of capital cases, and severely restrict what judges can do to subvert the process. The fact that convicted killers are more likely to die of old age than execution is the ultimate perversion or our “legal system.” And as was pointed out by another poster, again we find that the Congress is the guilty party.
