So..you want people to get murdered and raped...that's what you are saying..right?. Yes it is.
Ive worked in prisons for a good while. Ive seen things done to people that.......well I wont mention them here. It costs an unbelievable ammount of money to house inmates. Even if givin the death penalty your looking at 10-20 years of appeals. I support it. Save the tax payers money, save other people possible injury and give the poor victims some closure.
I'm not reading all this, so if I missed anything someone pls sumerise. I believe noone has the right to take the life of another(and it's also a sin, a BIG one). And life in prison can be much worse than death.
Maybe when we will have a way to say with absolute certainty and without any doubt that someone is guilty maybe then the death penalty would be at least reasonable, but I'm sure that when that time comes we would either have no crime worthy of it or we would have ways of reabilitating anyone.
Life in prison is not always worse. A inmate no matter how uneducated can make quite a life for himself in prison. Thru violence and subjugation he can rule literally hundreds of others. Money, drugs and sex are all his any time he wants. No, life in prison is not nearly as bad as you think it is. Im a career corrections professional. Trust me Ive seen it to many times. Thats why inmates get institutionalized. Their someone in prison but nobody on the outside.

So if someone steals, cut their hands off?Wow, good revenge stystem you got there. Too bad the rest of us live in 2006 AC, as opposed to 3000BC.
All I am basically saying here is that the criminals have more rights than the victim. Take rape cases, for example. In court, nothing of the accused's past can be dug up, prior rape convictions, etc, but the victim is made to look like a two bit whore. Not fair, I say. Give more rights to victims, and take them away from the accused.

But, then I remember Jesus's teachings.
We have to show them why they are wrong and why we are right.
Crossing that line in a sense makes us as bad as they are
Exactly. To enact Revenge is to equate yourself with that person.
