Premium Blog Ad Blog Ads TalkLeft Classifieds Stats var site="s11talkleft" Distinct visitors The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles Main Tuesday :: February 15, 2005 Religious Opposition to the Death Penalty I've often pointed out that if the radical right were less hypocritical about the "right to life", it would support ending the death penalty This op-ed on the death penalty has that perspective - it comes from the Monitor, which refers to itself as Uganda's "only independent voice." It's well worth the read, here are some snippets: II. .....Capital punishment is in the same category as abortion and euthanasia. They are a premeditated taking away of human life, and are, therefore, immoral. It is bad enough for society to lose one person, but worse to lose yet another, for whatever reason. The end does not justify the means. Whether the death penalty is legal is no reason for resorting to it or to upholding it. ,,,,The death penalty has an inherent weakness of injustice, since the weak and poor are more easily proven guilty than the rich and more powerful. That people continue to kill inspite of the application of capital punishment as a deterrent is an indicator that we are only tackling a problem at the level of symptoms than of the root-cause. Killing by the state sets a bad precedence and promotes mob justice. The modern state is better placed to curb crime than the old state. Putting aside the religious perspective for a moment, the author also makes this excellent point:

Pages: View original thread: Capital Punishment :: Right or wrong Searching through the killed - and the yet-to-be-killed. Call me morbid, call me whatever - personally I believe all humans have a bit of morbidity within them However, it raises that age old question - Should capital punishment be allowed? Personally, I don't think so - what do you say and why? Jord Torith I said yes, but I think it should be changed how it is done in America. Utaria-Aaron On a serious note, I do believe in capital punishment. Some people are just not re-habilitatable. And with the innocent-until-proven-guilty method in the US, along with the cost and time it takes to actually send someone all the way through death row, I'm confident enough that they do their best to not punish the innocent. Of course, mistakes happen, but we live in an imperfect world. P-nut Hmm..interesting question... On one hand, I believe if you brutally kill / rape / torture someone - especially children - you should receive the same in return. Morally, though, I don't believe it is our right to say to someone that it is their time to die. I think that's a job the big Man upstairs has covered ;).

86. Capital Punishment Religion. capital punishment A Personal Statement. By Charles W. Colson I must say that my views have changed and that I now favor capital punishment, http://www.rutherford.org/oldspeak/blog/articles/religion/oldspeak-capitalpunish

Religion Capital Punishment: A Personal Statement By Charles W. Colson As we Christians grow and cultivate the disciplines of reading and study, we sometimes alter our views. Sometimes these views even change dramatically. No one knows this better than I, having been dramatically converted to Christ and, subsequently, having my entire worldview turned upside-down. There was a time, for example, when I thought John Locke's understanding of social contract was the ultimate theory of government. I now see that government draws its authority less from the consent of the governed than from a sovereign God. I have come to another of those points in my spiritual pilgrimage in which my views have undergone significant change. I owe it to those who have followed my work and to the constituency of Prison Fellowship to give the reasons. For as long as I can remember, I have opposed capital punishment. As a lawyer I observed how flawed the legal system is, and I concluded, as Justice Learned Hand once remarked, that it was better that a hundred guilty men go free than one innocent man be executed. I was also influenced by very libertarian views of government; I distrusted government too much to give power to take a human life to the judicial system. Then as I became a Christian, I was confronted with the reality of Jesus' payment of the debt of human sin. I discovered that the operation of God's marvelous grace in our lives has profound implications for the way we live.

In one, the justices said that executing mentally retarded prisoners convicted of murder is excessive punishment. In the second, they declared it unconstitutional for judges, rather than jurors, to decide the factors that send a person to death row. Most analysts did not see the rulings as necessarily leading toward abolition of capital punishment. Those two decisions and other developments concerning the death penalty, said a Washington Post analysis on June 25, "could just as easily fit into an age-old American trend of embracing the death penalty while struggling to cleanse it of moral and intellectual conundrums."

91. Capital Punishment - The Death Penalty capital punishment lowers the value of human life as seen by the general Stephen Layson, Homicide and Deterrence Another View of the Canadian http://www.religioustolerance.org/executb.htm

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT THE DEATH PENALTY Basic reasons: pro and anti Click below to visit our sponsors. Common reasons in support of capital punishment The Bible The Bible requires the death penalty for a wide variety of crimes, including sex before marriage, adultery, homosexual behavior, doing work on Saturday and murder. It even calls for some criminals (e.g. prostitutes who are the daughters of priests) to be tortured to death by being burned alive. Most Christians, with the exception of those in the Reconstructionist movement , feel that many of these grounds for the death penalty no longer apply to Christian societies. U.S. However, Bible passages are still used to promote the retention of capital punishment for murderers; some advocate that homosexuals also be executed. Justice/Vengeance Many people feel that killing convicted murderers will satisfy their need for justice and/or vengeance. They feel that certain crimes are so heinous that executing the criminal is the only reasonable response. Deterrence Many people feel that the death penalty will deter criminals from killing. This does not seem to be confirmed by an analysis of the available data. However, it feels intuitively correct for many people.

Some jurisdictions that practice capital punishment restrict its use to a small number of criminal offences, principally treason and murder . Prisoners who have been sentenced to death are usually kept segregated from other prisoners in a special part of the prison pending their execution.

93. Capital Punishment A Theological Essay on capital punishment. For insight into how religion andpatriotism may be combined http//funnyken14620.tripod.com/patriot.wmv http://www.frontiernet.net/~kenc/cappun.htm

Capital Punishment Kenneth Cauthen This essay is part of Chapter Eight in my Toward a New Modernism Thesis One: In principle a case can be made on moral grounds both supporting and opposing capital punishment. Thesis two: Concretely and in practice, compelling arguments against capital punishment can be made on the basis of its actual administration in our society. Two different cases can be made. One is based on justice and the nature of a moral community. This leads to a defense of capital punishment. The second is based on love and the nature of an ideal spiritual community. This leads to a rejection of capital punishment. JUSTICE AND THE NATURE OF MORAL COMMUNITY LOVE AND AN IDEAL SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY Agape , Christian love, is unconditional. It does not depend on the worthiness or merit of those to whom it is directed. It is persistent in seeking the good of others regardless of whether they return the favor or even deserve to be treated well on the basis of their own incessant wrongdoing. An ideal community would be made up of free and equal citizens devoted to a balance between individual self-fulfillment and the advancement of the common good. Communal life would be based on mutual love in which equality of giving and receiving was the norm of social practice. Everyone would contribute to the best of ability and each would receive in accordance with legitimate claims to available resources. What would a community based on this kind of love do with those who committed brutal acts of terror, violence, and murder? Put negatively, it would not live by the philosophy of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life." It would act to safeguard the members of the community from further destruction. Those who had shown no respect for life would be restrained, permanently if necessary, so that they could not further endanger other members of the community. But the purpose of confinement would not be vengeance or punishment. Rather an ideal community would show mercy even to those who had shown no mercy. It would return good for evil. The aim of isolation is reconciliation and not revenge.

This week: capital punishment. We no longer execute people in Australia, and we haven’t done since 1967. But recent events elsewhere in the world have made us acutely aware that not all our neighbours – or even all of our very close allies – share the same values.

With more executions in Texas recently, the nation once again has been plunged into the stormy controversy of capital punishment. Some are insisting that execution - even of a vicious murderer - is wrong, though they offer no moral criterion save their personal inclination for that judgment. Others, with an appeal of sorts to the Scriptures, allege that capital punishment is incompatible with the teaching of Jesus. What these sincere folks forget, of course, is that Jesus frequently spoke of the punishment of hell - which is the ultimate capital punishment!
