Came here to say this. If it's wrong to kill another human being, then why is the death penalty okay?

I realize that there are a few situations where killing another person is justified, but I can't see any way that a person locked up behind bars in a high security facility could possibly fit into any such scenario.

But my opinion is not a function of my atheism.
