One more thing

I happened to be watching CNN last night, and Billy Graham's daughter was on, going on about the value of life and how embryonic cells are a potential life and all that stuff, and Anderson Cooper asked her the death penalty question. It's the first time I remember seeing anybody ask one of the right-wingers how they reconcile their "culture of life" with support for the death penalty. And she sounded sort of thrown, which may be why her answer made so little sense. "It's in the Bible," she said. Something about how god made man in his image and a murderer was sullying god's image. OK, but that still doesn't really explain how that justifies murdering the murderer. (Wouldn't the executioner then be sullying god's image as well, or does he get a free pass?) I guess "it's in the bible" is supposed to negate the need for your explanation to make any sense.
