"If you believe in the 10 commandments, then you believe that it is wrong to kill. Even for revenge.

The 10 commandments forbids a particular kind of killing. The scriptures support death as a penalty. The death penalty is not based on revenge.

<< And studies show that the death penalty does not deter crime, so why have it?>>

It does deter crime, at least in my case. Has an executed person ever caused another death?

Orc,

re: If you believe in the 10 commandments

I don't.

I would kill any that kill my own.
