Execution in Ohio

[StrangeLife]

I'm hesitant to kill unless we are certain and even in cases where we are I'm still hesitant to kill if rehab is possible but if we don't think rehab is possible put em in a box and be done.

Rehab is a privilege - why does a person who has comitted aggravated murder even deserve that chance?

Yeah I know that most of them finds Jesus after a while. They become repentant. They start working on training seing-eye dogs or making quilts for hurricane victims. But their victims are still dead and the victims families are still missing their loved ones. These perps have comitted a crime for which there is no atonement short of their own demise.

Rehab is not a privilege anymore than air or food are. They deserve a chance because we aren't God with at the moment since I am an atheist is really limtied to the fact that we cannot create life. If we kill them and six months later we find out we fucked up there is no reset button where we can dust him off and say "our bad." and go on like nothing happened.

I don't give two shits about finding Jesus. If by atonement you mean making up for there is no atonement period. Their own demise doesn't help the situation except in the cases of people who will kill again.

I agree that there is no way to atone for brutally murdering someone. I am also an atheist, so God didn't come into play when I came to the conclusion that I do not support the death penalty.

What forms my opinion is what my parents instilled in me before kindergarten. Two wrongs do not make a right and do unto others as you would have done unto you. Killing a killer makes no sense. Just like wars against waring terrorists makes no sense. It's barbaric. It solves nothing.
