The Bible has many stories we can share for different reasons. Rather it be Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, or David and Goliath, we use the stories for lessons in our lives. Capitol Punishment can also relate to one of the stories. The Villagers gathered with their stones. The Criminal was a woman who was convicted of adultery. As the villagers raised their hands ready to throw the stone Jesus came and stepped in front of the woman. Looking at the angered villagers he said, “He who has no sin shall cast the first stone.” The villagers all dropped their stones. This story represents my opinion on capitol punishment. No one on the earth is completely without sin and almost everyone could be punished. But being the hypocritical society we are today we still go on relentlessly persecuting those who we see as lower than us. It’s not just Christians who protest the misuse of capitol punishment. Capital punishment goes against almost every religion. Although isolated passages of the Bible have been quoted in support of the death penalty, almost all religious groups in the United States regard executions as immoral. Capitol punishment also is an ineffective punishment for those who commit crimes seeing the death penalty as the “easy way out.” Scientific studies have consistently failed to demonstrate that executions deter people from committing crime.
