Bizarre Attitude Shift.

On a number of occasions recently I have read pieces from people who advocate life in prison for the very worst of murderers under a cruel and humiliating regime which will ensure misery for every day of the rest of their lives.
Surely, this is moral degeneracy at its worst.
Man has been given entitlement - to end lives of evil doers. Nowhere do The Scriptures require us to effectively torture felons.
