It's the Christian thing to do!

What ever happened to "turn the other cheek"??? Sounds like yet another rule the right wing follows when it suits the moment.

According to a Gallup Poll in May, 74% of the public supports the death penalty, but backing for capital punishment drops to 56% when respondents are given the alternative of life without parole. Even in Texas, a Scripps-Howard poll last October found that while 75% supported the death penalty, 78% favored the option of life without parole.

We call ourselves a christian nation. How can putting a man or woman to death be considered a christian act??? For that matter explain to me how we can invade Iraq or any other nation and call it a christian Act???
