Once You Inject Fear Into A Society

The Movement To Abolish The Death Penalty Needs The Religious Community Because The Heart Of Religion Is About Compassion, Human Rights, And The Indivisible Dignity Of Each Human Person Made In The Image Of God.

When You Try, God Is There And You Get The Grace You Need To Get You Through.

If We Believe That Murder Is Wrong And Not Admissible In Our Society, Then It Has To Be Wrong For Everyone, Not Just Individuals But Governments As Well.

Government ... Can't Be Trusted To Control Its Own Bureaucrats Or Collect Taxes Equitably Or Fill A Pothole, Much Less Decide Which Of Its Citizens To Kill.

I Tell Myself That I Had Simply Better Accept The Fact That The Death Penalty Is Here To Stay In Our Society, At Least For A While, And There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. Maybe, In Time- After How Many Executions? - People Will Come To Realize The Futility Of Randomly Selecting A Few People To Die Each Year.
