If they follow the commandment thou shalt not murder, I don't see how they could agree with capital punishment, or war for that matter.
Of course, I guess some could just be interpreting what the Bible says to meet their own agendas.

It has been said that if a man strikes you take an eye of an eye and tooth for a tooth but if you do you have sinned. If a man strikes you you offer him your cheek if he strikes that cheek you turn the other cheek. If your are judged in court and you lose your shirt you give your coat too, if a military man asks you to carry his gear for a mile than you carry it for 2 miles....

Not really, but for myself being Christian I say hang em burn em or shoot em that's my philosophy, unfortunately the bleeding hearts in this country saves the criminals and condemns the victims go figure.

yes, it says an eye for an eye. in those days you'd get killed for nearly anything. besides,it also says do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. now that's a mighty strong deterrant.

Not really, no.
But some Christians do, and I can understand that.

Yep read the bible. Leviticus says you should be killed for almost everything, it even tells you how they should be killed.
