I personally do not believe in the death penalty. . . i realise that many people disagree with me and that's cool too. i don't intend to convert anyone to my point of view, and (not to sound snotty here
) i don't really care. everyone has their own point of view and mine stems from my personal system of ethics, i can only speak for myself and i belive that i will have to answer for myself when i die. i believe that there is a God and that he will sit in judgement. it is his job on that day of judegement to decide what will happen to these people who have committed heinous crimes. i am not God and therefore do not have the right to make the decision to take another human life. in order for me to sit on a jury where i might have to put someone to death is in violation of my personal ethics and in my mind makes me just as bad as they are. as i said earlier i view this as my own personal ethics system and don't expect anyone else to follow it.
