This 'human' must be punished here on earth, and the most suitable punishment to achieve justice in this case would be death. IMO of course.
Your God can not possibly exist as you know it when He allows such acts to occur. Surely this questions your faith, not just in God, but in the human species. We are but animals living on this rock floating through space.
clowboy said:................Bullmarket, comparing the execution of a criminal to murder is a bit harsh IMO. Are the soldiers at war in Iraq (and all other wars) murderers?.................
bullmarket said:As evil, horrific and abhorent as this crime is, it still does not justify a death penalty imo for the reasons I posted in the other thread.
Imo, the minimum custodial sentence has to be a very long time to help deter others from committing similar offences and if after the minimum custodial sentence there is no genuine remorse and rehabilitation then you leave him locked up for the term of his natural life.
Imo, those who believe in God should find it a lot easier to cope with a custodial sentence for serious crimes like this in the knowledge that we will all be judged by our maker eventually where true justice will be done.
Imo, those that do not believe in God are much more likely to want to take the easy way out and commit another blatant and cowardly murder (at least in the moral sense) by taking another human life to exact what they perceive as 'justice' but imo is nothing more than cowardly vengeance.
In my eyes, there is very little distinction between the offender who committed the murder in the first place and those who would cowardly murder him as well in vengeance by stringing him up, strapping him to an electric chair or whatever other means they would choose.
Somefood for thought I posted elsewhere:
I suppose those that do not believe in God are hoping that they are right and everyone else is wrong because eternity is a hell of a long time to be suffering in hell (or whatever your equivalent might be) for getting it wrong (ie...committing blatant murder, legalised or not) in the relatively miniscule 80 odd years we spend on average in this life
