I must say that I agree with your sentiments here. I would prefer that the death penalty never be used. But the problem is that the death penalty is employed all the time.... by criminals! When criminals stop employing the death penalty we can get rid of it also.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
