are moral reasons to give the death penalty to 1
st degree murders. He also gives two arguments,
retributivist and abolitionist. The retributivist
argument is everybody has to live. If a criminal
kills a victim, the criminal should be punished by
death. But, the abolitionist response is putting
the criminal to death only compounds evil by
having the victim dead already and giving the
criminal the ...

C S Lewis Feel Bad
743 words
Moral conviction is something that everyone should
have, it is inherent, or at least that is the
assumption. In the book, A Case for Christianity,
by C. S. Lewis, Lewis argues that it is part of
the Moral Law. Not the part that will make you
forget about yourself and help someone else even
though it might put you in danger, but rather the
part that makes you feel bad when you have wronged
another person or broken your own moral code. That
is just it though, you set your own moral code,

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Pre Marital Sex
1,226 words
Homosexuality is an extremely controversial
subject, not just within the Church, but also
within all of society. The Church states that
homosexuality is only wrong when individuals act
upon it. Since sex is only for procreation, and
two people of the same sex cannot procreate, then
for them to have sexual relations would be sinful.
In todays media, homosexuality as well as free sex
are both highly glorified. Many morals have been
lost, but we, not only as Christians but also as
moral individuals...

to scam billions from citizens in order to
compensate for their mismanagement of tax money.
First they waste what they collect in taxes and

Act V Scene Morally Wrong
591 words
Happy Ending? The Tragedy of King Lear is
indisputably a tragedy, in its purest form. The
hero, Lear, appears larger than life, but the one
flaw in him that makes him human, is the flaw that
ends his life ultimately. Although the play ends
with numerous violent deaths, the ending is
nonetheless happy, largely due to moral
reconciliation and realization by many of the
characters. Act V, scene iii in particular is the
scene in which such realizations are made. The
most obvious reconciliation and r...
