Also...you didn't answer the question. Do you think our criminal justice system is right 100% of the time? Is the execution of one wrongfully prosecuted individual acceptable in our code of moral ethics?
How do you feel about the following statements as given by a prominent Apostolic Pastor, David Bernard:
Now I contend that it is the conservative Christian who is drifting from the foundational morality of Scripture and Christian ethics as they embrace their marriage with this world's politics. Christians are starting to value being popular conservatives over being...Christian.

Well, this is probably going to really shock the socks off of some folks around here, but I would agree with you that Christians should not be advocates for the death penalty. Your argument against corporate punishment was sound and it left one of AFF's best debaters acting very much out of character.
