For the simple fact that someone people its the only way to keep them from doing what they did again.  Especialy the serial killers.  Most of those people have a mental disorder and would probably do it again if ever released.

My ONLY issue with capital punishment is making sure the guy you kill is actually guilty. 100% certainty is hard to prove.

and is it worth the death of innocent, to get some kind of revenge on murderers? isn´t it murder, too?

you can prevent serial killers, from doing it again, by not releasing them anymore.

death penalty is a relict from the last century. get civilized and ban it! lock them up in jail, but let them live, because (for all christians) only he, who gave live, shall take it...

It is murder, but I think that's the point. Put it this way; say, hypothetically, you had a five year old daughter and she was brutally gang raped, tortured, and then mutilated and murdered by two men in full control of their faculties. The evidence was indisputable and the option of the death penalty was there. You'd be a better man than me if you turned that option down. I'd want them dead and for their death to have been 'uncomfortable'.

EDIT: In case you didn't know, religion is the root of all evil in this world and you'd do well to avoid it at all costs. Christians have taken so many lives throughout history they've made the basic premises of religion redundant.

The death penalty is not murder. Murdering, by defintion, is the taking of someone's life in an illegal manner. If I killed Bob tomorrow, it would be illegal because I had NO right to take his life. But, the state/government has every legal and moral right to take the life of a proven murder, as those laws are in place to protect the population.

I believe in the death penalty for those who are 100% guilty as well. I think all leads and alternatives should be exhausted when trying said person in a murder case. If there isn't definate proof that he/she did it, they shouldn't die. But, that's up to the jurors.

Prison time = tax dollars.  And our prisons are over-populated as it is.  They also need to make our prisons harder so people stop going back.

If there were a way for proving 100% that someone were guilty of murder, I think they should be executed for it.  I know there are currently flaws in even our DNA evidence, but we are getting there.  And none of this 3 strike stuff anymore... you didn't learn the first two times.

Frankly I don't really care about those murderers so when they get the death penalty it's about time they learned what it is about to take a life. If they have a problem to die it's their problem I'd say.

Also keeping them alive will only cost more money than just killing them. Most of them most likely won't regret of the things they did to. Those who get often get back in for the same reason so it's useless in most cases.

And why don't they use a gun? Just put a bullet through the back of his head and he'll die.

Yeah, the three strikes rule is lame. Steal 3 cars and get caught each time = 25 years in jail? Pretty excessive if you ask me.

Not a fan of the death penalty. Permanent incarceration without chance of release is my preferred option. Reason: there's always a minute chance the person could be innocent. Guidlfold Four, Birmingham Six. Look em up.

If the person is 100% guilty, all the proof points to him... then it should be allowed. Just make it more efficient. If the guy definitely did it, then give the verdict and sentencing and then take him to the prison house, give him his last meal, and then just kill him. Honestly, this dude took 34 minutes to die? Wouldn't happen with a swift piece of shaped metal to the head.

This is the pure irony of the death sentence: it's supposed to keep the most dangerous people off the face of the earth, and yet it takes up to 30 years for the guy to actually be removed. During which not only could he escape, but the government spends boatloads of cash on keeping him fed, housed, entertained, and handled humanely.

Also, KEIOS, I see your point but in the USA we were founded with this little thing called Seperation of State and Church. Maybe I'm ignorant but that means the Church doesn't control the government, and the government should not let the Church influence their decisions. This evidently has been bent as much as it can be these past few presidencies, but it's still there. Hell maybe it isn't even an amendment or written in the Constitution (I'm rusty on my US history...) but if it is, then we shouldn't let religious beliefs influence our decision making process.

That's really not nice. That's pretty harsh. Not human. The thing you just posted is what they would have done in Concentration Camps. That was just a sick joke.

The man had to pay for his deeds still it's correct to let him suffer just as his victims. But in such a sloppy way, no. In my opinion Death Penalty shouldn't exist killing people because they killed someone is just weird. I don't really know if Death Penalty should exist or not.. Still don't know
It was sick, but funny...

I prefer George Carlin's philosiphy of incarceration of criminals.

You take a state, preferably a state like Kansas.  You put a fence up around the state.  You put all the murderers in Kansas.  You take another state say Nebraska, put the fence up, put all the sex offenders in it.  Then once a month you open the one gate and televise it as a reality TV show and watch them interact.

That is my recollection.  It was much funnier.

I have a great solution for that problem: don't steal cars. The only thing excessive here is the stupidity of someone who keeps getting caught and keeps committing crimes.

Unfortunately, with all the appeals they get, it actually costs more to execute them than to keep them locked up forever.

I'm curious to hear from Christians in favor of the death penalty. How can you justify your support, given the fundamental teachings and beliefs of your faith?

Actually he didn't take 34 minutes to die.  He took 27 years (when he was arrested) plus 34 minutes to die.

That's much too long.

By basic doctrine its frowned upon.,yet it can be justified because of the biblical principle of adhering to laws of the land.  A lot of anti death penalties are supported by various religious groups.  Most Christians that I know of support the death penalty under the old Mosaic law of "eye for an eye".  Any other religious groups out there care to share their views.
