I believe you're the one who have missed the whole point. Locking up people in prison is not sponsored by your tax money. Those people are not locked in 5-stars hotels. They are locked up in prison where they work and produce things that could be sold to benefit the prison. And part of that money is used to feed the prisoner and clean his/her cell.
What is sponsored by tax money in the Middle East right now are the Qoran competitions and the Haj trips to Saudi Arabia, not to mention the anti-Christian media programs.
Don't try to convince me that your point of view is shared by MANY Americans and Canadians. I've lived in both countries and that's not true.
Now, would it be hard for me to see the killer of my family locked in prison instead of executed? Probably. However, that's the power of CHRISTIANITY. It's a religion that is all about forgiveness. When our Lord was being executed on the Holy Cross, He asked for forgiveness of those who were killing Him. Same thing happened with St Steven and many martyrs.
That's why we're Christians.
Hope that helps.

Isn't the religios right is the main backer of the death Penalty in the US? I beleive so
To Suggest that MANY American and Canadians do not support the death penalty because of your experience in both countries is Antecdotal at best and misleading at worst.
There is a big move here for tougher penalties since our legal System here is a joke, but I highly doubt that the death penalty would be reinstated. I also hear from a lot of the Canadian consevatives the phrase "An eye for an eye" which is taken from the bible I beleive.
And I will enjoy Halloween too I am going trick or treating with my wife and daughter, Can you say Dentist bill$ , damn
