1) his argument against you using religion is a double standard, because I bet he would be against certain things because religious people hold them.
2) As long as the country does require Christians to pay for the death penalty there is no constitutional issue.
3) Just to clarify something about Church teaching. The Church doesn't take an official stance on the death penalty, but the latest papal statement appears to be moving in the direction of no more death penalty. BUT there are some Catholic theologians believe that the DP is ok for Catholics to hold (I've seen some argue it on here, I've also wasted hours on a Catholic message board debating this
). there is nothing wrong with your stance I agree with you, but don't drop the the Catholic Church says the DP is not moral, because they actually don't say that.

I honestly did not know the Catholic Church did not have an official position. It is just something I have thought long and hard about and just cannot support...like I say, though, I wish prison was just much harder.

Hey CTF. Check your catechism, the Catholi church does have an official stance. It is ok under certain circumstances, though with today's incarceration capabilities those would be extremely rare.
