The Federal jury in Boston hearing the penalty phase of the trial of Dzokhar Tsarnaev, the admitted second member of the brother team of terrorists who carried out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, has awarded him with martyrdom status, while simultaneously lowering the status of the United States to that of third-world, uncivilized nations. In fact, the United States continues to embarrass itself by trailing only China, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia in number of executions, and ranked ahead of Yemen and the Sudan.
As a Christian, I note that the other nations in the same category are not Christian in any way, shape, or form. Although the U.S. is supposed to be secular, there is no secret (note the dates on both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution) to the fact that we are supposed to be founded on Christian principles. Jesus stated clearly that only a sinless person can be an executioner, and even He (the only sinless person) refused to be an executioner.
