WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!

I don't want to kill anyone in cold blood. That's how I see the death penalty. If the government is doing the killing, and we the people are the government, then it is us ALL OF US doing the killing.\n\nAlso, there have been cases of innocent people being put on death row. Aint no coming back from dead.\n\nthe reason I start with the "in cold blood" comment is because I agree with many that say that they would fight to death to protect their own family. I would too. If I could catch the murderer in the act, I would kill them if that was needed to stop them. But once we have them in jail, we just need to agree to keep them in there.

Yes.\n\nIt is a great trick.  \n\nWestern wisdom suggests that when the end comes, the depraved and filthy living will not believe that the game is over and will feel certain they can beat the illness, go on carousing, and repent later once it is "really" over.\n\nSo some shrewdness and self-honesty and acceptance of mortality is gonna be necessary to use the great trick of death bed repentance.  Don't count on it working out for you, it's like winning a lottery.

Let me ask you a question.  Do you have a fixation with death and killing?  Have you ever watched someone die?  Pick a new hobby.

I hope life but am worried as one of the witnesses has already done time for his involvement in the abduction and he named the ones accused of the murder.They could get away with it [saying that he named them to take the heat off himself] i hope not though\n\nAnd life should mean life.

A sane society kills its maniacal killers. Those on death row are beyond rehabilitation. They are beyond any usefulness to society. In hard labor for life they are a continuing burden on society. How beneficial would it be to still have Gacy, Bundy, et al still alive and in prison? Would you want these horrendous people out in public on a "crab boat" with a chance to escape? Are you for real?\n\nIt would be better to keep the appeals process from going on for 15 years, at the waste of taxpayer dollars.

here's a quote from a friend "OMFG ITS THE 1337EST AWESOMEST I KILL EVERYONE FOR IT YEAYEAYEAYEA"\n\nI hear it's good.

I think it is a necessary evil. I only wish the appeals process didn't take so long. There are times when I think we should have public executions again. Then, capital punishment would be the effective deterrent it is supposed to be.

I believe in life in prison without parole for those criminals that have proven to be an ongoing threat to society.  I think it costs us far more to execute them than it would for us to keep them locked up forever.  However, the death sentence does not bother me.  I believe there are people who cannot be changed and that they are evil.  The sex of the person does not enter into it for me.  Would I carry out the execution?  I would not take the job.  If I were forced to do it, or the person would go free?  I would execute them.  My fear in letting them go would be that they would kill again or harm a child.  I couldn't live with that on my conscience.  Anyway I didn't sentence them to die.  I just carried out the sentence of the court.  Of course this answer is based on what I know of the courts of the U.S.A.  I would not carry out a death sentence in another country.  In some cases the sentence may have been handed out simply for being a Christian.

Killing is society is bad and no  matter how legal it is i believe its injustice. the people being killed everyday are humans and nobody is allowed to take their life except God who created  them.\n\nif killing is made legalised can the people who legalised it allow just one person from their family to be killed?\n\nin  my opinion think killing is evil and the act or people behind the act should be perpetuated and stopped

Hmm..\n\nIt could be that turkey still has the death sentece. that is a big no no in the EU.\n\nIt is also the level of treatment that the government meeds out to it's people. Ever heard "Lets play turkish prison"?\n\nIt has a good ways to go. But i do belive that with a little work, and alot of understanding that Turkey will someday be in the EU.

There is a user with the Nickname DEATH.  He seems pretty demented, I will send him to your question.

I think public violence of all sorts desensitizes people to the immensity of death.\n   Executions were televised in my country a few years ago, and I had the bad luck to turn the TV on when some were taking place. I will never forget the faces of those men about to die. Criminals, yes, evil by nature, perhaps. But what impressed me the most were the faces of those about to do the killing: the coldness, the total lack of concern, the machine-like effectiveness.\n   I do remember one woman, member of a firing squad, who burst in tears after the shooting. May God bless her.\n   It didn't stop crime. Our crime rates are on the rise, death penalty or not. But what really, really disturbs me is how used we have gotten to watch people die: the first time I watched a lynching on TV I was horrified. By the fifth repeat I was merely bored into "Oh, no, not again". I wish that is not what you want.\n   I believe that crime should be punished, and that dangerous criminals should be placed where they can do no more harm. But turning death into a show (and the ratings here were huge) demeans it, and us.

I flippin love it! I am so worried about the cheerleader. What is up with her creepy step dad? Could you imagine waking up on a table in a morgue half way through your autopsy all cut open. If I could have any of the powers I think it would be to read minds BUT be able to control it and do it on will. I love it- it just keeps you wanting more. \n\nS♥

I totally agree. Sometimes i think maybe it would be good to make them sit their whole life and rot . If i had my choice, i would make the person stay alive so every day they can think about the choice they made! The death penalty seems to be a cop out. But others days my opinion changes...
