Well, I guess that you and I simply disagree on the death penalty at a fundamental level.
1) It's not a deterant
2) It costs more than life in prison
3) It kills innocent people
4) It's state sponsored murder
5) It's hypocritical
6) It goes against so-called Christian values
I can't change your opinion. If you think a guy murdering someone is wrong, why don't you think the state murdering them is wrong? I just don't get it.
If, however, you simply believe in vengence, well then fine. At least that would be an honest answer. I simply disagree. Prison yes. Death? No.
