THE DEATH PENALTY
All over the world, to kill in cold blood is murder.
To hire someone to kill on your behalf is also murder.
Governments have the right to govern us, but not to kill us.
To execute is to kill in cold blood, and is therefore murder, so the death penalty is murder by the state.
If the state executioner kills on your behalf, with your agreement, you also are guilty of murder.
Civilised countries throughout the world no longer have the death penalty
Last year, 59 people were executed in the USA, a figure only surpassed by those enlightened countries China and Iran, while in the 30 odd countries of Europe, the death penalty was used not once.
From the religious point of view, surely only God has the right to give life or to take it, the first Commandment is Thou shall not kill. An eye for an eye is not the same as a life for a life.
