I'm the atheist here, and I'm the one hoping people can forgive or at least not let vengeance and revenge be law.
No matter the case, no matter how emotional we are about this; we should not condemn others to death in order to bring about justice.
Its barbaric.
Let them rot in prison, people seem to think prison is some joy ride, you try 1yr, 5yrs, 10yrs, all your life in prison... Its hell.
If I hear anyone again say "oh but its cheaper to put them to death than life in prison..." Have you looked in the US at the costs of appeals and the typical cost to the system for death row inmates?
IF that was a factor, your argument fails.
But ultimately, it should not be our judicial system that condems people to death, this was something our ancestry did in barbaric times and times of ignorance.
We'd like to hope we have moved somewhat forward in our thinking, but obviously in America and somewhat here we are lacking.
At least the rest of the free world, the western world, people are disgusted by the idea of capital punishment; so there is hope for this continent yet
