"Let he among you who is without sin, cast the first stone." - John 8:7
While religion shouldn't be the backbone of any laws governing all people, that quote pretty much sums up my beliefs. Judgement isn't an easy thing to pass on another human being, as we haven't experienced life the way they have. It becomes serious when such judgements decide whether or not a person will live.
A society that kills its lowest citizens is a society that needs fixing. As Danny suggested, the focus should be on rehabilitation rather than retribution.
