Death penalty Rant

Religious people say that the Bible is the book to answer all questions of life, but I think history is a better teacher. If you use history as an example, if you use history as a guide, there is no convincing argument to support Any form of capital punishment. Discussing the death penalty is an issue that involves many different aspects, including socio-economic and race relations, then likely be a very comprehensive article, so clearly I am not able to discuss every detail concerning the issue. I just wanted to discuss some key components.

Some argue that we should still use the rule of the Bible in one eye for an eye. Back in the days when there were no methods for collecting fingerprints or collect DNA or collection of blood samples, that provision seemed necessary to impose some form of justice. But with these technological advances, with such logic seems highly sophisticated and determined not to follow the path that leads to intellectual stimulation.

Furthermore, those who love to use "eye for an eye" standard is clearly hypocritical. The Bible clearly states that a woman who commits adultery must be stoned on the spot, but strangely no one expects such a sentence today. Furthermore, the Bible says that a child who does not respect his parents should be stoned. Again, this practice is not legally or religiously acceptable today. There is no moral or intellectual high ground that religious people can stand when it comes to using any religious text as an example of administering the judicial standards.

During the Middle Ages, when some peon committed a crime, be it a simple robbery or murder, it was common practice for that person to be executed quickly and for the person's body parts scattered throughout the city. The local magistrates wanted to make clear that the crime would not be tolerated. But the strange thing is that there is no evidence that such measures deter crime. The reason is simple: violence is the father of violence.

Most crimes, especially in murders, usually happen in the spur of the moment. The parties do not stop to think about the consequences. This is the main reason for the death penalty is a deterrent to crime. The death penalty should cause the criminal (s) to stop and reflect on their actions, but this is clearly the anatomy of a crime. And 'at the same level of thinking as saying, "to get rid of drunk driving accidents, we will remove the cars."

In essence, the death penalty is a simple argument used to solve a complicated action
