It is possible to love Jesus and be for the death penalty...there are crimes against fellow humans that are beyond forgivness and to answer the strange question of "who are we to decide" it goes something like this "we are the people that follow the rules, pay our taxes, try to raise our kids right, try to love our neighbors, and we are SICK of not being able to walk the streets at night, SICK of reading the newspapers with horrid stories of murder and brutal rapes, SICK of REPEAT child molesters and the leftist liberal judges that let them out time and time again, SICK of these slick lawyers that get murderers off on technicalities, SICK of the PURE HATRED of some of these "people" that are just horrible to others" If there were a simple button to push to make these people stop such terrible behavior I would favor it, but despite what liberals tell you you cannot rehablitate murderers and rapists, and as for repentance let them do it in the next world.
