BUt today, when we do not have the prophets nor the audible voice of God, why would a civil society choose stoning over hanging?
The guillotine was developed to be a more humane form of execution than hanging, and it is, by far. What's your thing about hanging? Why do you stop there, as most civilized people (world wide) think it's barbaric?

Once you leave the standard by claiming it is too harsh, then you can't stop. "Why would a civil society choose the death penalty when a person can be put in jail" "Why should a person be put away for life" ?
