MARJORIE GRIESHOP lives in Harlan, Kentucky. In this reflection she notes how the use of the death penalty changes everyone. Violence only begets more violence, in her view, and using the death penalty destroys compassion.

  • Marjorie- Your video and sharing your feelings about the death penalty (along with Marsha Willoughby's video about her son) have truly made me think deeply about this issue & both of you got deeply to my heart with your words. <3 Your point about violence is one I strongly agree with- how its basically a cycle that needs to come to an end for it will only keep creating more violence (as well as the pain, loss, suffering, confusion & more that comes w/ violence usually) until it stops for good.

  • all 3 faiths say to use capital punishment to deal with sins.

  • @KCADP not true its just liberals who want to lie but never rad the bible tora, or the koran. whatever your faith is go read it and find out for yourself. and i don't think a life sentence is worst then dying because everyone is scared to die. especially if you killed people they know where there going when they die.

  • A lot of faiths, however, do not. Furthermore, many faiths have beliefs that are bad ideas.

  • Actually, it can't happen in real life.

  • @ZEverson but that can happen in real life tho its possible why take that risk.

  • @ZEverson but don't you know most faiths give you the authority to give the death penalty.

  • They can be taken out of harm's way more effectively by being put in jail for life.

  • No, but it is fiction (as in, made up).

  • @ZEverson  have you seen the movie prom night?
