I read the article. You can pretend anything you want. This is not a theocracy. It does not matter if our capital punishment standard is not measuring up to biblical standards
Truth works. Falsity doesn't, whether it's the death penalty or Socialism. How to humanely kill under the death penalty is another attempt, like Obamacare but for different reasons, to do the wrong thing the right way. The reason they can't find the right way to execute prisoners is there really is no right way to do the wrong thing.
