Actually I happen to disagree. I don't ever say the bible is stupid or anything like that...even though i dont personally believe it...I wouldn't downgrade a personal belief of an individual like that. The reason I say the bible can't be used to argue in this case is because this is such a severe matter and everyone has their own set of personal beliefs and such. If you force down the death penalty simply b/c of the bible you are in a way forcing your beliefs on the society also. Not just the bible but you shouldn't use the Kuran or the ramacritimanas or other such holy books to govern a body of people. That's the only reason I say that the bible shouldn't be used in the case of the death penalty...not b/c i say it is stupid or fake.

Whether it is accurate to the letter or a total sham, the Bible is where many people turn for "severe" matters. Devout Christians try to follow the word of God, even though it may not always be possible. I am very, very far from perfect, but, when possible, if I can do the morally right thing (which usually coinsides with what the Bible states, by the way), I will.

I just had to do an essay on this kinda shit and i voted no cause like if ur doin a lethal in-jection to a dude who murederd someone else then like ur basically murdering him......Whats the point in that? let him rot in jail!
