Child of GOD Here.
I'd like for them to Bring Back "Hanging", then Lettem' Hang a While so People can drive by with Their Family (I'd havem' Hanging on TelePhone Poles) and say
"See What Happens when You do That!"
These are my Thoughts:
The Death Penalty:
1. There can be No Doubt What So Ever That You Committed the Crime
2. You Deserve to "Leave the Earth For Good" for What You Done
See, I don't Look At the Death Penalty as a Punishment.
But, Some Sins you Commit Can Cut your Life Short on the Earth.
See?
TELL THEM About Jesus FIRST---give them a Chance to Get Saved---then Streeeeeetch that Neeeecck.
Dit====================to!
p.s. ( I Really like the Injection Method Better, but Hanging would be Impressive to Others--to Give Them an Incentive to be "Nice".
GOD Almighty is Going to Leave Hell Open, so we can Look Into It, for a While)

Last time I checked, Christianity doesn't run the court systems, prevent rape victims from testifying, or sentence rape victims, non-virgins, aldulters, or homosexuals to hard labor, public lashes, or execution for speaking out.
Saudi Arabia is not the United States. At least women are free to condemn the piggish males who assault them. In Saudi Arabia, women have no voice -- if they speak up, they're dead. Imagine all the unreported rapes or rapists still on the street because Islam is the underpinning of their legal system...whereas Christianity is not the basis for laws in this secular country, and the men go to jail.

We do Not approve of those things And those things are Not justified by our faith. To do such things is both a crime and a sin against Christ.
Do you approve of beheading children?
http://www.aina.org/news/20061029141418.htm
Ayad Tariq, who lived in Baqouba, Iraq, and was at work on Oct. 21 when a group of "disguised Muslim insurgents" went into the power plant shortly after his shift began at 6 a.m.
The website reported the insurgents asked him for his identification and, according to other witnesses who hid and stayed alive to report on the attack, questioned his identification card's reference to him as a "Christian."
Are you truly a "Christian sinner," they asked.
"Yes, I am Christian but I am not a sinner," he replied.
The insurgents then called him a "dirty Christian sinner," grabbed his limbs and held them while beheading him, the witnesses reported.
They were shouting, "Allahu akbar! Allahu Akbar!" during the murder, witnesses said.
Ayad Tariq was 14 years old.
-Also-
In October of 2005, three girls were beheaded and another badly injured as they walked to a Christian school in Indonesia. They were walking through a cocoa plantation near the city of Poso in central Sulawesi province when they were attacked. Police say the heads were found some distance from the bodies. The beheaded girls were Theresia Morangke (age 15), Alfita Poliwo (age 17) and Yarni Sambue (age 17).

Surely any civilised human being is going to condemn this behaviour. I don't think you need to be Christian to condemn it, do you?
I would also hope that any civilised human being would condemn the kind of manifest injustice inflicted on the Saudi Arabian gang rape victim: http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/rape-victim-punishment-reprehensible/2007/11/21/1195321830818.html
