Wasn't it God's plan? Where would the Christians be today if he hadn't been sacrificed?
Anyway, back on topic.
I'm against capital punishment. I read something in a news article once that said that public costs for Capital trials exceeded the cost of keeping a prisoner in jail indefinitely. Also, I'm not happy with the idea of the statistics of innocent people convicted.
And our prison system is messed up. I don't understand why the State isn't required to ensure the safety of inmates. Seems like it should be a legal responsibility. Furthermore, the prison system isn't designed to rehabilitate offenders. Those that are rehabilitated are the exception, not the rule.
