First of all, it's been a few days here and you guys are awesome. And sorry if i'm bugging anyone with my topics.
To get to the point, religion and killing people are deeply intertwined (especially islam), yet they also have that "sanctity of life" thing.
Atheist usually defend the right to live etc.. but where do we stand in relation to the death penalty? I'm not talking about innocent being killed accidentally, i'm talking about a criminal 100% proven guilty (hypothetical situation), what would you do? And it's not drugs or whatever, he's in prison for killing. Would you kill him? Or would you imprison him the old fashioned way? Maybe some kind of prison farm where criminals can be useful for society?
Note that killing someone is in no way beneficial than keeping him in prison. (other than economically)
I'm still forming my position on this one, i feel that they have the right to choose between painless suicide, rehabilitation, or some sort of "agricultural prison".
Enough of me, what's your position?
