God is NOT a factor in the death penalty, at least shouldn't be. "Judgement" is not the force behind the death penalty...rather punishment. Seperation of church and state ensures this. Last time I checked God was still more powerful than the penal institution in the United States. I am probably the most "politically conservative" member on WAP and I do agree with one thing said. I don't agree with some crimes being punished with the DP and some not. I don't beleive in the death penalty in ANY case!
