QUOTE: “I
support the death penalty for convicted murderers, and I oppose the death
penalty for unborn children. ‘Ha! Caught you! Wiggle out of that one!’ If
someone has forfeited their right to life through an outrageous crime on
another, and that person is given a fair and complete trial, then executing
them is an act of justice. If someone has not done such an act, and they are given
no trial or hearing whatever, then executing them is an act of injustice. This
is a real puzzler for Dawkins. Trial? Justice? Innocence? Guilt? Injustice?
These are strange concepts. I must hear more about this religion of yours.”
