Government can't replace G~d in the Equation

I am concerned about the news. As are most of us. But I am watching more and more matters of LIFE become matters of law, not G~d's Law, mind you, because we are a nation "under grace." No, we have our own law and continue to make more. I am going to address capital punishment, and I am against it, and I know the Bible directs certain offenses to be capital offenses, but!!! We do not live by G~d's law, as a nation, therefore, we cannot reach into the Bible like a bag of tricks and pull out the ones we want to apply to someone else. The Bible says capital punishment for murder on the word of two witnesses. A guilty verdict is not to be determined on the fame or expression of the man on trial and not based upon whether we like the victim or not.
And I am so disgusted that the same people that argue against capital punishment are for abortion and euthanasia and the ones for capital punishment argue against abortion and euthanasia. Is there anyone that simply respects life all the way around?
And this brings me to this poor helpless woman in Florida again. They removed her feeding tube. Now, I heard that Congress and Senate were adamant about getting a bill passed that the Governor could sign into law, but they couldn't agree and the session dismissed for it's "break?"
Well, all of this has me thinking. What if Terri Schaivo was a convicted murderer, the politicians would all be on opposite sides of this debate? What if Terri had not been resuscitated and died 15 years ago? Would there have been an investigation rather than award of guardianship?
What if the women were reversed in the murder cases this week. What if Scott Peterson had been accused of killing a woman that wasn't sparkly and vivacious? What if Robert Blake's wife had been a wonderful woman?
Why is it against the law for a father to kill his unborn child, but it is legal for a physician to do that? So, if Scott Peterson had a medical degree, would it not have been murder?
And now for the big question!
What if we acknowledge that life and death are not to be in the hands of humans?
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
