I'm white and I could care less if a lot of white men receive the death penalty because bottom line they broke the law. If we wanted to get rid of minorities a better way would be stop all immigration into the country for starters.

Well put

i jus feel the death penalty is wrong, what is being proved from it. I feel they should jus be taken from the society

The deathe penalt is a bit exreme in my view the bible says (paraphrasing) to not kill a man, so that works for the good and bad side, the death penalty is killing its all the same. They should come up wit some more tourturous confinement than jus prison, to really make them think about how presious life is, but our government is crooked anyways, our government sucks especially bush. Hate me if u want to about bush but he has jus ****ed up the UNITED STATES can i get a witness

while the death penalty may be a bit extreme.......the bible is that much more. you believe in someone nobody has ever seen in this life time or those far before ours. and as far as bush.....hes ****ed up, and hes done good. i wouldnt vote for him, nor the other party probably. every presidential election is full of lies with no real say so on what will truthfully be done.

who are we to judge? to administer death as the sinner did is to act as if you on a level with God himself. That works for me until its my child, girlfriend, or mother.

Well in my point of view we shoud live by the bible not constitutional rights cause half of them are twisted anyways. And i was reffering to the Holy Bible at that. Where you think they got most of the laws and thigs from, the bible but they pick and choose what they want instead of taking in the bible fully

Does anyone really need the Bible, the Qur'an, the Torah, or any other holy text to know that you really shouldn't go out and try to injure or kill someone? The ten commandments would be considered common sense if you took them out of the religious context. Sure, some people lack common sense but they don't need theology to go along with the simple teaching of respecting other people and their property. Every religion to some extent teaches that simple fact whether it is Christianity, Islam, or Buddism. Maybe all the various doctorines that has been created and destroyed since the beginning of time came from the empathetic desire to respect each other in order to live in a society instead of this belief that we all need to find some higher power to guide us.

Penn Jillette wrote something similar for NPR called "There is No God" which I think is similar in its aim: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5015557

That paragraph, my friend, pretty neatly sums up exactly why I'm agnostic //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
