Justification for violence include revenge and &quot;justice.&quot; Justifications for revenge and justice range everywhere from the purely religious (i.e. suggesting that [[God]] supports punishment) to the purely existential and even instrumental. <br /> <br /> Punishment should be clearly distinguished from [[Atonement]]. It is proper and spiritually [[alignment|aligned]] to expect people to atone for their [[sin|sins]], it is spiritually improper and out of [[alignment]] to perpetrate violence on another living being, not matter how &quot;justified&quot; one may feel.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Further Reading==<br /> <br /> {{template:bolife}}<br /> <br /> {{template:bookII}}<br /> <br /> {{template:bookIII}}<br /> <br /> {{template:cite}}<br /> <br /> [[category:terms]]</div>
