I say no. I believe even the worst of the worst have the right to live. God desires mercy, not sacrifice, according to Hosea 6:6. Jesus often said blessed are the merciful. I feel qualified to speak on this because I was almost murdered. If my attacker had succeeded, would his death bring me back? The answer is no. Jesus also said to return not evil for evil. Killing people is evil. Killing someone to prove that killing is wrong? Yeah, run with that. Also, current execution methods constitute cruel and unusual punishment, which is forbidden by the Constitution. I want to know what you think.
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Cost-wise, it may be better for the death penalty to be legal as keeping someone jailed for life (as an example) is only bringing costs up to house a person that generally has done inhumane acts to society. It is a fair point that the Christian bible does not support murder or killing, but it is peculiar that there are certain exceptions to that throughout history.
I am open to someone convincing me otherwise on this, but apparently the crusades did not bother to follow the guidelines of their own religion? Proportionate to today's population, acts of murder and killing within the many crusades numbered to about 6 million. This is equivalent to the total deaths of Jews in Nazi genocides (The Better Angels of Our Nature, p.140). Can proponents for the death penalty being illegal explain how the mass murder of those of another religion be just, whereas death for heinous criminals is somehow unholy?
This is not to suggest they were the medieval equivalent of Nazis as I have read, but it is peculiar how such was justified in any manner when the death penalty is called to be absolutely immoral in every circumstance. I do hope for an unbiased explanation for this, if I happen to be mistaken.
Thank you.

Yeshua bears a fair point. Threats are something to be frowned upon in debate, and simply should not occur. Period.
Violence is not something normal in a place for discussion on issues. Not really in most democracies, anyhow.

Oh, did he hurt your feelings? I see no cause for a lad to lie, yet if ye can prove it that bring it forth. Your god surely wouldn't approve of sudden accusations, no?

Aye, and presumably (s)he has it if they are not lying. There is no dispute to that. Yet there is no less assumption of responsibility for either side really. Lie or not, there should not be such a climate in the first place where these accusations are being made.
