Obviously there are those who would disagree with my view and I do understand that. Capital punishment is justice being served and that is ultimatly a good thing, IMO.
Ah, so it only works out if you have faith. Well, I'm still on the other side of the fence.

You definitions are out. Murder is a intentional killing. Killing is causing death.

Ah, 'for the greater good', you know what they say about the road to hell.

There is another saying 'an eye for an eye leaves every one blind' and 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'
