**FILE PHOTO** This undated photo released by the California Department of Corrections shows Donald Beardslee. Lawyers for Beardslee, who killed two women, argued to a federal appeals court Jan. 12, 2005, that the lethal injection he faces Jan. 19 is cruel and unusual, and violates the First Amendment right of speech. Inmate Donald Beardslee, in what is believed to be the first challenge of its kind to lethal injection, alleged that the combination of a sedative and a paralyzing agent would mask whether heis experiencing excruciating pain, would prohibit him from crying out and prevent public witnesses to the execution from seeing him contort, a violation of the First Amendment.

Whom would Jesus execute?

And what method would he use? Gas chamber? Electric chair? Lethal injection? Crucifixion? I have to wonder this upon hearing the news that California executed Donald Beardslee, a convicted murderer, pictured above, at 12:01 a.m. today. While I'm perfectly fine with murderers being locked up for life so that they can never harm anyone again, I'll never understand the "logic" of killing someone because killing people is wrong.
