fascinating to see someone say that christianity is a religion of love, tolerance and acceptance, and argue for the right to kill, all on the same page. i always thought the central message of Jesus was forgiveness.

capital punishment does not achieve what it is intended to achieve. it does not deter criminals. it does not reduce crime. it does not save incarceration costs. all it achieves is vengeance, and that is achieved at the expense of killing the occasional innocent peson.

and how do you apologise to those who are innocent of the crime they were executed for?
