[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] Omega: You're trying to outlaw abortion on the basis of your religion, you're advocating abstinence, are you not forcing your beliefs on others? ALL political debates try to force some kind of belief or another on other people. The difference is in saying "capital punishment should be abolished because people aren't perfect enough to decide who should die" and "capital punishment should be abolished because God will tak revenge." Here's my personal example. Paganism says "harm none, do what ye will" and that energy you expend comes back three-fold. Karma and reincarnation says the murderer's soul would choose to meet the victim again in subsequent lives to resolve the matter. Do I tell you all of this? Of course not. But here's what I do say: Our system would rather let a hundred guilty go free than execute one innocent, right? Well, innocents HAVE been executed. Whose fault is it? It's usually a combination of bad timing, lack of money (aka expensive lawyers), and human errors (including, but not only, prejudice). So I conclude here and say, "capital punishment should be abolished because people in general cannot be trusted to kill fairly." Both approaches come to the same conclusion, but nobody would listen to the first argument. [/QB][/QUOTE]
