POV

It seems that the opening statement presents POV right out of the gates: Most major world religions take ambiguous, hypocritical, and even self contradictory positions on the morality of capital punishment. I'm thinking it would be more neutral to state something like: Most major world religions take positions on the morality of capital punishment, some of which are ambiguous or self contradictory.

Illogical sentence.

In the judaism section: "These oral laws were first recorded around 200 BCE in the Mishnah and later around 600 BCE in the Babylonian Talmud." This doesnt make sense since 600 BCE is before 200 BCE, I would correct it but am not sure if the error was in transposing the dates or incorrect usage of 'later'. 129.42.208.182 16:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC) I changed it from BCE to CE,I dont have a source for that specific date, but (from what i remember) it does seem to be around when it actually was. As well, I think, as per UTC's question, that it is indeed the original author's intent.[reply]

Except CE should not be used, use AD. LinuxMercedes (talk) 19:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
