  1. I can actually get the downvote here, as some people are completely against the death penalty… and for a lot of reasons, rightfully so. That being said, man… there are a few crimes that pop up where it just seems like the world would be a slightly better place without that person. Like this case… or the shooter in Norway (who is up for parole!)…

  2. There aren’t many situations where I would agree that the death penalty is warranted (or should still even be an option)… but yes, this is one of them.

  3. Pretty much the purpose of religious groups is to be on the inside of the “purpose” of God. Ministries constantly tell of “God’s plan” and “God’s will” and “God’s mercy.” So as I do not think there is a god that concerns itself with human ethics or existence I don’t claim that I know so much about God’s influence. I do think it self-evident that people thank their god when stuff goes well and ignore their god when stuff hits the fan. I would prefer a god that stopped the bad things before they happened rather than one that facilitated punishment after.
