    The question of whether the death penalty should be executed has been discussed by many people. On the one hand, it is the teeth for teeth, eyes for eyes in the Bible, but on the other hand, it also involves the redemption of human nature: a person who has once sinned badly must not be able to Are you forgiven? In my opinion, all human beings are created equal, and this equality also includes the way of choosing one's own death, and it should be respected. The death penalty will always end only with life, not soul.

    True dignity is responsibility. Susan Sarandon is perfect for this role. Why be a nun? I don't know either, I just listen to my inner calling. Your misfortune cannot be the right to impose misfortune. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av16559447

Dead Man Walking quotes

  • Earl Delacroix: My wife filed for divorce this afternoon. We just have different ways to deal with our son's death. Until death do us part.

  • Prison Guard: Tell me something, Sister. What is a nun doing in a place like this? Shouldn't you be teaching children? Do you know what this man has done? How he killed them kids?

    Sister Helen Prejean: What he was involved with was evil. I don't condone it. I just don't see the sense of killing people to say killing people's wrong.

    Prison Guard: You know how the Bible says "an eye for an eye."

    Sister Helen Prejean: You know what else the Bible asks for? Death as a punishment for adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, trespass upon sacred ground, profaning the Sabbath, and contempt of parents.

    Prison Guard: I ain't gonna get into no Bible quoting with no nun, 'cause I'm gonna lose.
