Personally, beyond my stated reasons without bringing religion into it, I have my own personal beliefs which stand against the death penalty. Christian teachings are against the idea of it. The death penalty is a vengeful act, and vengeance is God's action to take. But that's a more personal opinion of mine rather than one rooted in quantitative information showing its ineffectiveness, inefficiencies, and inequitable application which violate the goals of how a government should function.
