God obviously knows what he's doing -- I often don't. Since I don't know exactly what will happen to someone's soul when they die, perhaps I err on the side of caution? **sure. By all means do not kill anyone. But that is a separate situation from not allowing the state to impose a capital punishment on the worst of societies offenders. Heck, this could even be in the realm of rendering to Caesar. **And there is another issue: Are we again imposing Christian values on the secular state?
