Lenard its all very well to quote the old testament but unless you are a catholic fundamentalist you will realise that the new testament also has a lot to say about forgiveness and vengence which contradicts the old testament.
I can give you those quotes if you want but anybody can look it up, or anybody knows who learned this.
There is no evidence that capital punishment prevents murder, yes I stand by my statement and not by your reinterpretation.
You say that if the man was murdered by the state he would not have killed again. I say that if the man was put in prison for life he would not have killed again. But you would prefer to kill him right?
As far as thinking twice and this amateuristic thinking - 'if I wanted to murder somebody I...' does not work in reality. In crimes of passion you tend not to think 'oh wait I must not murder because I will be killed'. And in many other cases for example gangs in the states if you do not murder you stand a good chance of being killed. How about war? Do you fancy telling your commander in the Krajina that you don't want to set the house of a Serb on fire because there might be somebody hiding in the basement? War is not murder you say? Rubbish, the effects are the same. Or say one is a sick serial killer I'm sure a person would stop and think 'no I must not kill, they will kill me...'.
Last of all studies have been carried out showing that capital punishment does not have a detterent effect. Not your or my amateur thinking on the subject.
Lets cut the crap and talk about the real reason that capital punishment is used in the US (or Iran etc) it is cheaper.
What do you think God would have to say that as a reason for capital punishment?
We know the answer in our hearts.
Murder is either wrong or right. If the state can do it, then thats an example to the rest of us.
