If someone routinely tortures and kills babies as part of his/her religious practice, is it morally wrong to kill that person?
If it is in order to prevent him/her from hurting more innocents, then NO. But should they instead be imprisoned for life with no parole?
If we are truly battling EVIL—people who have sold their souls (via “soul scalping”)—is there justification for purging all that dark energy from our world? Or will mass executions simply contribute to the evil energy on the planet?
I wrestle with this myself.

I don't have answers. Only questions.
