Ohhhhh. One of my hot button topics. I may have to go look at the entire question to decide if this is worth a whole post.
Like you, I am adamantly opposed to the death penalty. Not that I think society doesn't have the right, but that it can in no way be administered fairly. Besides the obvious "It doesn't work" which has been proven over millennia.
Also like you, I believe there are people that have no soul. Not that all of them are killers, but that there is a certain % (my numbers again) that are just flawed in that way.
I'm going to quit here, but that doesn't mean I'll quit thinking about it. I haven't done a position paper on the death penalty for at least two years, it might be time.
One last bit: An eye for an eye was written as a specific punishment for a very specific action. How it got to be so generalized is simply beyond me.
Thanks. I think :) I'll let you know later today.
I pushed a button? :D I like pushing buttons. Have you ever watched a cartoon called Dexter's laboratory? He has a sister named Didi that goes around pushing buttons, sometimes I am like her lol :D I am looking forward to reading that post of yours. 💚
