This faux pastor still doesn't get it.
Respect for life requires that you put down vicious beasts so they can't kill again. Anything less dishonors the memory and denies justice to this murdered mother and her daughters. It also puts other innocents at risk.
The actual words were: “Thou shall not commit murder”
Not: “Thou shall not kill”.
Which is why the ancient Jews, from whom we got the ten commandments, were not squeamish about capital punishment for capital crimes.
The “accepted” interpretation is a modern invention.

Looks like those Methodists have had to search their own souls for answers to the death penalty. Their former preacher has to be classified as a damn fool, and anyone who has had a close friend murdered will agree with my statement. Death penalties do not stop murdering from happening again and again, but it does stop the person executed from doing it ever again. Whatever the color of your skin, if you murder someone, you deserve to die for your actions.
