The majority of practitioners of religion believe in Islam/jewish/christian principles outlined in the old testiment. If not for religious/moral/ethical reasons, why should killing a person be illegal? If some guy rapes my sister, why shouldn't I kill that rapist for revenge unless God says that is wrong?

which sorta supports my point about killing people who did not kill anyone themselves. When to kill a person and when not to kill a person, that is the question. When is killing someone ok?

Those are three different things, I only said religion should be ignored by the law.

>When is killing someone ok?

When they cruise below the speed limit in the left lane.

We must be traveling the same roads Joe! Why can't they just MOVE over!??

The other criminals already in jail tend to "take care" of the child molesters in their own way! Whatever life they have left in prison will most likely consist of torture, pain and in many cases death.

If they are guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt then tall tree short rope. Pokie you are right in jail they will be at the bottom of the food chain and that is not the place to end up in this life.

I see this morning on the news that Texas is trying to pass a law that would enable them to execute habitual offenders. I agree with this the only problem is they have to commit the crime more than once to get this sentence.

Right, that's what this topic is all about. It's pointless to bring religious ethics into this issue because personal ethics (while much inspired by religion, but are not the same) seem to determine our opinions and actions more.
