Pro-Family group (read a Christian group) today said that the death penalty is "Moral'. Man, even the word hypocrisy doesn't have enough potency here.
Pro-Family Group Says Peterson Death Penalty Verdict 'Morally Right'
Acocording to this wacko, Judeo-Christian God would have given the same judgment and killed this man. So, this all-loving God is not that 'all-loving' a toll.
It has been shown that Death penalty is not a deterrent at all. If you compare the crime statistics in the countries which don't have death penalty and the countries which have death penalty there is no noticeable difference. But why do people keep insisting and supporting death penalty?
"Sweet Revenge" I would say. I wrote earlier how we feel good about ourselves when we evict revenge. This is the motive, 'feel-good-about-me' motive.
USA being one of the developed countries has one of the highest population of death row inmates in its jails, does it say something about the country? Oh yeah, I hear the cries "we are moral, we are family oriented" all around. If this country is so moral, why is there 50% divorce rate here? Most of it due to exra marital relationships?
This freak who was defending this death ruling was also demanding to use this ruling as a basis for ruling against abortion (Scott Peterson wife is pregnant when she died). Scary people. They love the fetus but hate humans. How pathetic.
If Scott Peterson really killed his wife and his unborn son, he should spend his whole life paying for it, in an isolatory cell and paying for his existence cleaning washrooms. If he is killed by lethal injection, he would be having it easy.
When do people realise that morality is not absolute! Marriage for you may be moral and God given right for you, but, for me it is just immoral to get tied down to one wo/man when there are thousands out there...
