It might be barbaric but it beats being woven through the spokes of a wheel like the Brits used to do. Or sewing you into the body of a dead horse and covering your head with honey.
The medival execution style of throwing you into a burlap sack with a chicken in a dog and tossing you into the river was pretty nasty.
Or putting a rat in an upside down bowl over your stomach and lighting the bowl on fire was suppossed to be the most painful way to go.
Stoning is considered to be fairly merciful compared to some of the other techniques.
