So, when I was little, my dad (Jim) used to have this shirt that said "Why do people kill people who kill people to teach people that killing people is wrong?" ( I googled to find an image of the shirt, but all I got was a bunch of creepy zombie pictures from the 80s...) Anyway. As a Christian, I believe we have a responsibility to form a view on political issues from a Christ-centered perspective. I know I know...separation of church and "staters" might not like that statement. But for me, it's impossible to separate my relationship from God and the moral implications of social issues in today's society. The Death Penalty is one of those issues that requires some soul searching right? I came across this article today in the Huffington Post's religion (hate that word) section and it got me thinking about this all over again. Are there times when the Dealth Penalty is justified? OR is killing someone for killing someone ever the right thing to do?
