I just find it interesting that many people I know that state religious reasons for being pro-life also happen to support the death sentence. When they should be stating religious reasons for being against the death sentence.

Also, buckman is starting to know me well.

If those religions are against the death sentence and are religiously pro-life, then those many people are half-hypocrites. That hypocrasy is no argument against pro-life, they should be stating religious reasons for being against the death sentence as well as for being pro-life.

However, if those religions are not against the death sentence, there is no hypocrasy. Which religion is?

Further, we are in the era of "broad interpretation." Our contemporary judges, academics and philosophers, interpret their laws as they see fit. If you want to interpret your religious laws and commandments the way that suits you, that is now acceptable.
