I think they should strap them in the chair, hook up all the electrodes and then give the convicts five minutes to talk the family out of pulling the switch.  Me, they wouldn't get two words out before I pulled it and I would sleep perfectly well, thank you.

Some say the death penalty isn't a deterrent to crime.  Either is life in prison.  This way society doesn't have to house and feed them for the rest of their lives.

Maybe an eye for an eye is the way to go.  If this guy raped and killed that little girl, then that is what should happen to him.  Raped and killed.  Where's Bubba?  Got a job for you Bubba.

Commandment # 6 specifically states, "Thou shalt not MURDER".

 

Not in all translations.   There are a lot of them that use "kill".   Martin Luther used kill.

  

Ten Punishments
(Let's post these in the schoolroom!)
 

 

 

3. Exodus 31:15: Whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
 

 

5. Exodus 21:17: He that curseth his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
 

 

 Do you propose enforcing these too?   There was a good reason to separate church and state.
