Which side are you on? The death penalty should be enforced, or it should not be enforced? Which side am I on, I have no clue. Is it right to have your own opinion? Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Is your own opinion right? Not necessarily always. The death penalty is a topic that no one will ever agree on. Before you begin to assume that someone else’ opinion is wrong, look at their point of view and determine whether it’s a fair point, so lets look at both points.
The death penalty is right and very good thing to have. This is an opinion that most people in society have today. If someone kills another, they should die too. An eye for an eye, a foot for a foot, and a life for a life right? I mean we all have our chances and if you make a mistake like killing someone, you should be killed. We have a chance to live life right and if you screw that up then, that’s your fault.
The death penalty is wrong and very a bad thing to have. Yes, if you make a mistake you absolutely should be punished. But what about sin? God put us on this earth to worship Him forever and ever. We don’t do that everyday and all the time like we are supposed to. God doesn’t kill us for dishonoring Him. To many, dishonoring isn’t as bad as killing, but wait... In the bible it says that no sin is worse than the other. And if you really want to get technical, in the ten commandments it says, do not commit murder, and it goes on to say that you commit murder when you speak harsh words and have harsh thoughts against someone. So, if everyone that committed murder died, we would all be dead. But most blessedly, we have a God who forgives us and still gives us a chance everyday to have eternal life.
Does this change your perspective either way? Whether it does or doesn’t it’s not mine or anyone else’ right to judge. But try to consider the other opinion.
