Is it because people tend to want to get rid of problems? Is that why they want to kill people? Is that why society demands capital punishment?
But capital punishment doesn't work. It didn't work 2021 years ago when Roman Law killed Jesus. It didn't silence Him. The Jesus problem became a religion.
Besides Jesus was innocent. I would think that just the possibility that the person you are killing is innocent should give you reason enough to NOT kill him. Even if the person is guilty, he can change and become a good, useful, contributing member of society. People change.
I've known men who committed crimes as a teen and later on refer to growing up in prison as a better upbringing than they had on the outside. They changed.
I believe, hope, and pray that society will change its attitude toward capital punishment.
