Right or Wrong?

Prompt: Right or Wrong



In today's society many of the beliefs that people commit are absolutely inexcusable. My beliefs are totally absolutist. In some cases topics such as the death penalty, homosexuality, any types of discrimination, and especially cases of child abuse when a person should recieve the ulitmate punishment, two wrongs still don't make a right. Although, the "eye for an eye" method has been constantly pushed on society my beliefs and my strong faith in God will not let me believe in any type of corporal punishment. Many people know deep down in our hearts that this is wrong but we feel that justice has not been served unless another life is taken in return.
For example, the death penalty I just really don't understand why this is even considered a punishment. To me it's letting a criminal take the easy way out. I do understand that is dead wrong for a human to take another human life and not face any consequences for it, but at the same time I think other actions can be taken instead of another pointless death. It will not serve any purpose and won't bring the other life back. I do think that maybe sitting in a jail cell the rest of your life given the opportunity to think about what you've done, and having this burden on you everyday would be enough.
Another example is homosexuality, we don't have the right to judge anyone, that can only be done by a higher power. We've all heard the phrase that God did not create Adam and Steve, but this is not something that we can look down on them about who they have chosen to love.
In this country, we especially discriminate against our gay community. We have taken away their right to get married something that most of us take for granted it is that this community has to actually fight for. In some cases it's hard for them to gain employment if their sexuality is revealed, other things such as giving blood or even adopting a child is an obstacle for a gay person.
I think that people should think more of what is right and not about what society thinks.
