My point is this. If you can justify to yourself that state has the right to kill someone, and you do, you can't really hold it against the terrorists who can also justify it to themselves that they have the right to kill someone.Capital punishment isn't war.See the 10 commandments.Congratulations are in order. Every time I think I have seen the most absolutely ridiculous attempt at moral equivalence by one of the useful idiots, along comes a posting so absolutely retarded that it reads like parody.
Yes, by all means, killing people for abandoning the faith isn't much different than killing them after they have murdered innocent people.
I weep for this country if children like you are an example of our educational system.
Killing people for ANY reason is immoral.
Actually not.
It is murder that is forbidden, not killing......else war would be outlawed.
I used to expect better scholarship from your side.
No longer.
It isn't murder.
Do you have a point, beside the one on top of your head?
BTW....
Genesis 9:6 prescribed the death penalty for murder when it said that if a man “shed the blood” of another man, by man must his blood be shed. The only law repeated in all five of the books of the old testament. The death penalty is a value, values are eternal, as opposed to customs or traditions, such as stoning for adultery.
2. Exodus 21:12-14
Leviticus 24:17 and 21
Numbers 35:16-18 and Numbers 35:31
Deuteronomy 19:11-13
Thou shall not kill.
That's what the commandment is....and we don't follow the old testament.
Killing is either wrong in all cases or it isn't.
Not the right......the obligation.
Were it not for the Liberals corrupting society, evil would be punished.....as it should be.
Now, write this down, laminate it for your wallet, and study it every day:
"Capital punishment is to the whole society what self-defense is to the individual."
