No you can't. The only scripture you can find to justify warfare is to justify killing in the name of God.
Can you point me to where it says it is okay to drop bombs on babies becuase for capitalism is better than communism?
Also, since the original topic is the death penalty what did Jesus say about "An eye for an eye"? It is one thing for Christian to try and spion the meaning opf some ancient Old Testament verse. It is another thing altogether when Christians jujst completely ignore what Jesus told them.
The death penalthy does NOTHING good. It does not bring back the dead, and satisfying bloodlust with more killing is not a good thing.
BTW anyone who supports the death penalty supports killing innocent people. Too many innocent people have been set free for anyone to argue with a straight face that the death penalty has not already, and will continue to claim innocent lives. Anyone trying to play the "moral superiority" card here better check some facts.
