Reply To: The Torah v. Morals

“If the Torah dictates that a murderer receives capital punishment for his wrongdoing, then no G-d fearing Jew should have any compunctions in fulfilling the Will of G-d.”

So you have no problem with the courts of the United States administering death penalties for petty theft?

Charlie – I hope you don’t mind if I spin this question on you. Do you think the Torah dictates that a murderer receives capital punishment for ‘petty theft’? If not, your question is baseless. If yes, do you have a problem with the courts of the US administering death penalties for petty theft? [Any answers involving ?????, Bes Din, Eidus etc. as reasons why not to administer capital panishment are obviously part of the ‘if not’, rendering your question baseless]
