Atheism & the Death Penalty.

This is something which I would expect a "person of faith" to say!  Of course, what he was thinking is information lost; now, if he was still in prison, he would have at least the possibility of expressing such regrets.

Haha, no person of faith here! IMO, providing a murderer with an opportunity to express -anything- is more of an opportunity than he afforded his victims. Maybe prison is punishment; or maybe it's a place to get a college education. To me, the ultimate price to pay for sadistically taking life is to forfeit one's own life. People like that have no business maintaining a pulse.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
