Outspoken clergyman Rev Al Miller says Government would not be fulfilling its role as God's authority to dispense justice in the land. Miller who has been vociferous in his support of capital punishment made the statement as the capital punishment debate continues to heat up, amidst the country's spiraling crime rate. The clergyman said persons who refer to the scripture "thou shall not kill" as an argument to oppose capital punishment, do so in error as the verse speaks directly to an individual killing another and not to the state. The reverend's statements come in the wake of fiery arguments directed at him since last week, when he was quoted as describing opposers of capital punishment as "dunce".
