I don't know about you, but that seems pretty clear to me. Life imprisonment is not usually represented by a sword.
In any case, that is not my point. My point is that it might be well and good for you to justify your opposition to the death penalty by citing your religion, but you are not going to convince anyone else because your position boils down to "Because I don't like it." I think the readers of TFP deserve more.
