I have long been an advocate of the death penalty, but recently I have changed my mind. It just doesn’t make sense to me anymore to take a life to get even for taking a life. To me it is nothing more than trying to achieve vengeance and God instructed us to leave that to Him. Timothy McVeigh’s death did nothing to bring back any of the 168 people that he murdered several years ago. I doubt if the surviving family members got much satisfaction or closure from his death. I’m sure they will continue to mourn their losses just as if nothing has happened. I cannot get this thing off my mind. I agonized over it the weekend, and dreaded writing about it today . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/08/death-penalty-2/
