    Or how about we just don’t execute people? I find the practice a little pointless and barbaric.

      Some people don’t deserve to live.

        And some don’t deserve to die. Can you give it to them? Then don’t be so quick to deal out death and judgement.

          Can I give what to who? I’m not 100% following here.

            Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

            That’s what the post is referring to.

        Humans shouldn’t be the ones to decide that.

        Yeah, no. That’s not how morality works. People have an inherent right to life regardless of how you feel. Ending that life is a violation of that right, as long as that life is of a human. So the options are either don’t kill people, or dehumanize people, and neither of those a good society makes.

          No, I disagree. People like Hitler, which is who I was thinking about when I made my original comment, don’t deserve to live and you won’t change my mind on that.

            As long as he was in power and able to cause havoc, then he’s that’s self defense. As soon as (if history had taken a different turn) he was imprisoned and no longer a threat to anyone, his life is as valued as anyone else’s. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to face consequences, just ones that aren’t murder.
