It's odd that your God killed millions of people but you are against the death penalty.
If life is sacred then why is your God a blood drunk killer?
I don't believe God "killed" anyone.
And it's not odd at all. The Catholic Church has taken a stance against the death penalty and the Pope has spoken against it vehemently.

I was watching an episode of an old 80's show a few weeks ago and a TV interviewer was talking to a judge known as a "hanging judge"
I cracked up at:
"Judge, where do you stand on the electric chair?"
"Right next to the switch!"
Now, carry on...
There's nothing funny about the death penalty, but I must admit this made me chuckle. Now I have to go to confession. ;-)
"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."
