Since when are religious people against capital punishment? They read "The Lord is My Shepherd" to you all the way to the chair. An eye for an eye, and all that.
How many murders and executions have been done in the name of religion?

If you had kept reading, you'd have found out that God is big on forgiving and redeeming. That was the whook.ole "New Testament" thing, where Jesus came to spread the peace and love towards mankind. Sometimes you have to read more than the first chapter to get the gist of a book.

God gives life and can take it away. It is a belief.
Capital punishment is anger directed to fear of some future injury. It is not a human right to take life away (very debatable).
Nevertheless, respect for life can spring from the basic belief of maintaining the dignity and sanctity of life.

I'm all for capital punishment. And I'm religious.

Part of believing in God is to believe that life came into existence for a reason (at least, for many believers) - and therefore it is not for us to arbitrarily take it away. So for those believers, it is a matter of consistency of one's beliefs.

God flooded the world because it was full of wickedness and nobody respected God anymore except one man who followed him dearly...God gives chances yet we choose not to take it, we have chances and I wanna take it, will you?

I`m not against it, in fact I think it should be used a lot more and it needs to be a lot more violent.

Because it is only God's place to judge, not humanity.
