The Death Penalty Is Wrong & Should Be Banned

1.) NOBODY DESERVES TO BE KILLED ON PURPOSE:- I except the fact that everyone waiting on death row has done something extremely wrong and therefore that is why they are awaiting execution. Lets look at that word in further detail; EXECUTION. Isn't that what they did in the olden days with kings and queens: 'CUT OF THEIR HEAD!'. When you think about cutting off someone's head it sounds cruel and evil just like executing someone or killing them in any other way they do it is cruel and evil. Yes, the reason they're on death row probably IS because they have murdered somebody. HOWEVER they are human beings too and lets not forget humans make MISTAKES. Now you may be thinking 'is she mad or what?' The answer is NO, I'm not mad at all. I just have a heart and can forgive people for what they have done. As long as the person is deeply sorry for what they have done and can recognise and be sorry for their wrong doings, they should be forgiven and be given another chance at life. Not all murderers are bad people. 2.) GOD FORGIVES:- I am a Catholic so don't be surprised as I give you evidence from the Bible that God forgives....YES, even criminals and murderers. Don't get me wrong here; murdering is a SIN, no doubt about it. You will surely go to HELL if you commit murder, UNLESS you repent, pray and ask God for forgiveness. If you're not Christian you still have to recognise what you have done wrong and STILL turn to God for guidnece and forgiveness. If you do this and are genuine there is no reason why you should have to go through the death penalty.

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." ... How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
