Shouldn't God be giving out the consequences?! You don't let them go, but you sure don't KILL them. That's not going to stop all the killers. Killing bin Laden...think his followers are gonna like that? What, you're going to kill all the followers to?! Then what, their families, because those families just might want revenge? Killing ONE person can cause a chain of events, leading up to some other person snapping and killing people. It happens. So killing a murderer justifies nothing, it's saying that HUMANS created humanity, and only humans can take it away. I am an ex-member of the United Church of Canada. And in THAT Christian Church, ALL life is special, and only God should be allowed to judge. Who says a murderer can't feel guilt over what he has done afterwards? Who says he doesn't want to repent? It may not happen within a few years, but after a decade, or two, they may find God. You are not giving that person a chance to find God and realize the mistakes he/she has made.
