Cost-wise, it may be better for the death penalty to be legal as keeping someone jailed for life (as an example) is only bringing costs up to house a person that generally has done inhumane acts to society. It is a fair point that the Christian bible does not support murder or killing, but it is peculiar that there are certain exceptions to that throughout history.
I am open to someone convincing me otherwise on this, but apparently the crusades did not bother to follow the guidelines of their own religion? Proportionate to today's population, acts of murder and killing within the many crusades numbered to about 6 million. This is equivalent to the total deaths of Jews in Nazi genocides (The Better Angels of Our Nature, p.140). Can proponents for the death penalty being illegal explain how the mass murder of those of another religion be just, whereas death for heinous criminals is somehow unholy?
This is not to suggest they were the medieval equivalent of Nazis as I have read, but it is peculiar how such was justified in any manner when the death penalty is called to be absolutely immoral in every circumstance. I do hope for an unbiased explanation for this, if I happen to be mistaken.
Thank you.

Yeshua bears a fair point. Threats are something to be frowned upon in debate, and simply should not occur. Period.
Violence is not something normal in a place for discussion on issues. Not really in most democracies, anyhow.

I take it quite humbly, but appreciate the warm words. Civility should only be inherent in a legitimate debate, and one who does not display is simply writing out of emotion, if anything.

Oh, did he hurt your feelings? I see no cause for a lad to lie, yet if ye can prove it that bring it forth. Your god surely wouldn't approve of sudden accusations, no?
Your figure should not be an excuse to post claims without legitimate evidence but your word.

Aye, and presumably (s)he has it if they are not lying. There is no dispute to that. Yet there is no less assumption of responsibility for either side really. Lie or not, there should not be such a climate in the first place where these accusations are being made.

Aye, then we are at a standstill. Then neither is obligated to say but a word, so it seems.
What is your point, if I may counter?
