You're an idiot if you think that the Christian God is forgiving.
That being said, no one ever deserves to die, even if they killed.

Agreed what's the point of punishing someone so they won't do it again if they die?
Ladios:
I am against it.
It is more punishing for the person to actually spend all that time in prision, and therefore more effective.
The criminals that do reform get another chance where as if they were killed beforehand there is no point. (the jail system is meant to change the criminals actions)
The death penalty does not deter murders, as most murders are commited by people upon people they know. These people arnt thinking of the consequences at the time.
It costs more money to put someone to death than it does to leave them in prision for life.
And also the obligatory: killing the killer just makes a hypocrite.

HURRRR
The basis of Christianity is God giving humans a second chance through the death of Christ.
As I have come to know it in my life "second chance" = "forgiveness".
Not to start any religious argument of course.
Destiny/Zack0Wack0:
If you want the criminal to suffer, why are you payings lots of money to kill them therefore saving them from years of agony? The death penalty is bullstuff, it completely goes against its own basis.
Packer:
Let me put it this way, because of your ignorance driving a car has caused someone else to die, you are sentence to death. Own up to it now.

All people charged with a DUI should have the same punishment as those who happen to kill people. It's not fair to the people who have their lives ruined just from 1 big mistake.
