Sorry, I forgot, I'm not supposed to take it literally, even though God fucking wrote it! hehe
Jesus specifically rebuked that Old Testament law: "You have heard that it was said, 'and eye for an eye', but I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Unfortunately we still have many Christians who are for the DP. There is 0 excuse for that, considering Jesus specifically opposed it on multiple occasions.

Not for me. Even if 100% of death row inmates were guilty of heinous crimes, I'd still be against it. Mainly because there is 0 point to it in the modern day where we can keep them locked up and away from society.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
