Playing God: A Consideration of Capital Punishment

I live in a state that is still under death. In fact, I lived 30 minutes from the prison where the death penalty was enforced. We will play God by controlling who can not live. How can we kill those who do not pose a threat to society? Most people committed a bad crime to get the capital punishment, but some people were mistakenly convicted. The legal system is not perfect, it is by no means perfect. Of course, they can get countless appeal before being executed.

Christian has recently become a blunt opponent of death. But through most Christian history, Christians are not against the death penalty. According to Orthodox tradition, God himself punishes sinners in hell, and punitive punishment is worse than the death penalty. Attention to poor people and oppressed people, whether Christian or non-Christian, is very common - without Bible and Christian tradition no one cares about the welfare of others. Most charities in countries like Australia may be done by Christians; most charities in Muslim countries are done by religious Muslims. It is not surprising that in communities traditionally showing moral seriousness by active members of religious organizations, people whose altruistic work of the community shows moral seriousness also belong to religious groups.

The capital punishment should not be reintroduced to Australia and other countries. The capital punishment is just another name to legally kill people. The death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment and it is statistically proven that there is no strong deterrent effect on criminals. There are many reasons that the death penalty should not be reintroduced to Australia and other countries. First of all, I think that people who are convicted should be given opportunities to "reward" society. The abolitionist believes that the family of the victim should be compensated through employer's own employment or community service revenue. I say that criminals can be more vigorous than they live. Through work, criminals cause damage to the society and their families. There is no reason for criminals to receive some kind of compensation for their work. Money does not play an important role in prison

Many Christians are against the death penalty because God is forbidden to kill. The church applies the principles of the Bible to reach the conclusion about the death penalty: the dignity of the human life (sanctity of criminals and victims), the necessity of global human repentance, and the most violent sinner The ability of God to change even. These truths must be balanced with the government's obligation to protect citizens and make them live quiet and peaceful lives. In some respects, the teachings of the Church have not changed from the perspective of capital punishment. Even the pope and the American bishop oppose the death penalty. "Because the modern world has developed non-lethal means to ensure that innocent lives are preserved and justice is achieved, the death penalty is no longer considered" necessary "and therefore morally unfair, Right to life under all circumstances.
