OK well for those who don't know, When some one is sentenced to the death sentence there has to be at least one person there to kill the Person on death. But if the person being killed is being killed because he killed soem one, shouldn't the person killing the murderer be put to death. And if that happens we will end up killing each other out of existance untill only one person is alive then he had to kill himself. Doesn't that seem a bit odd?
Ok just toclear things up. I don't mean that there shouldn't be a death sentence. |

Logically, if you think the executioner deserves to die, then so does the judge who mandated the sentence and the jury who chose to convict with the option of the death penalty.
To even consider that is irrational. Before a person even commits a crime that warrants the death penalty, the laws of this country say that certain crimes may carry a sentence of death. So, it's not like the punishment is retaliatory. It is preset. You do A, you get B. Who cares who facilitates B? To pull the Ten Commandments argument is faulty also. The Hebrew word used in the Ten Commandments is 'murder', not 'kill' as so many people are falsely convinced. Why would a God who ordered His Chosen People into battle say it's not right to kill? I bring up the Ten Commandments because many of our founding fathers used biblical tenets in the process of framing our country's primary documents that established justice and government. ![]() |
