I don't think the death penalty has any place in a modern 21st century nation.
Of course I'd love to see the Ian Huntley's of this world hung, drawn and quartered for his child killings but let's be honest here, child killers amount to about 0.1% of all criminals.
If the death penalty was brought in many people whose crimes wern't on that magnitude would likely die too, along with the innocent.
I also cannot see how murdering a murderer makes anything right. If the taking of a human life is wrong (and it is) then a system of vengeful retaliation cannot be right surely?
Also what constitutes murder? To me someone who chooses to have their unborn but still living child scraped out of their uterus and thrown into a bin because they don't want the hassle of looking after it is as guilty of murder as anyone who kills somebody who is actually born.
Im actually fully against the death penalty, I was joking along in my post.
But on abortion Bilbo watch out with taking sides on that one and getting your emotions involved into hatred of some who are forced into that decision. There are degrees of stuff too, in regards abortion. Rape,known genetic disorders that will create a life of misery etc etc.
I know you are leaning towards the churches accepted religious beliefs and what they have taught in regards to what you should accept or should not accept.
BUT When the spirit ,atman, or soul enters a human body it does so right on the first breath taken in, outside of the mother.
It as a life force being isnt in its body to be, during pregnancy, although the fetus does go through all the practice modes for its future physical survival including thumb sucking etc.
Any spirit is not allowed to possess or be inside any other spirit which includes one being inside a mother in waiting.
This is where the God given human birth right of freedom of choice comes right into action.
Dark energies or evil spirits if you like, can only enter into another being if you on some level accept it. They suck energy and light force from people with light bodies and then steal health and energy as they cannot generate light energies themselves, they take.
They also attempt to stop light beings from having
freedom of choice in any issue so that they have control over others. Unlike God and the white light brotherhood there is no judgment in regards to any of these matters.
And if you and the Church are correct and do actually speak for God; then where exactly does the commandment " Thou shall not judge come into play? It doesn't because then they lose their control over others and they start to die off.
