Americans who believe in Jesus but support the death penalty, please explain this?
I know it's scary in your country because guns are legal and you need to discourage gun crime but I still don't understand. Jesus wouldn't be happy about the death penalty.
You are not supposed to judge someone till you've walked a mile in their shoes (I might not be quoting it exactly).
When I see New York and LA gangs, yes, it looks pretty scary. And you could move away from the city to be safe (but then your children might grow up insular and simple) or you could try to do better with education and making sure peoples living standards were better (now everyone knows Jesus would approve of this).
You have had the death penalty for years and years, BUT PEOPLE ARE STILL SHOOTING EACH OTHER WHICH SHOWS THE DEATH PENALTY IS NOT A DETERRENT!!
obviously non Christian people can like the death penalty but that means it's only about revenge and not justice.
