George, Jesus Loves You!

For those who believe in Jesus Christ, the death penalty is an abomination. Capital punishment is a moral issue for a Christian nation like the USA. Those who wonder What Would Jesus Do? (WWJD) know he would not approve of state killing. Whenever a death sentence is carried out, they see it as another scar on our collective soul. It is another crucifixion. Real Christians reject the notion that the state can kill and escape the admonition of the commandment against taking a life.

With that said -- kudos to former Illinois Governor George Ryan! A Republican and proponent of capital punishment, Ryan instituted a moratorium on the death penalty over concerns about its racist and arbitrary application. In his final acts as governor, Ryan commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment of all Illinois death row inmates. He also granted clemency to four inmates whose confessions were coerced. Kudos!
