When you start pulling the rules for 7000 year old desert dwellers into the argument, then you have no argument. However, let's try the following: What part of "Thou shalt not kill," do you not understand? How about "What is done to the least among you is done to me," or "thou hypocrite, first attend to the beam in thine own eye."
If you want to pull vague literature into it, let me recommend Larry Niven's, <i>The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton</i>, since reissued as <i>Flatlander</i> for the logical extreme of the death penalty.
