Does capital punishment assume that God doesn't exist? Do people assume that God is using them to exact His vengeance?
There's an interesting story in the book of Acts about Ananias and his wife Sapphira, who dropped dead because they sneakily withheld money and lied about it. (Acts 5:1-11, NIV)
In God we trust? I don't think so. We don't trust God, we trust ourselves. We don't rely on God, we rely on ourselves. Today we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness. We've written laws to protect ourselves from each other, but these laws have been written within the quality of selfishness.
We need to change. We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
