At least he doesn’t claim to be pro-life

The Republican governor of Massachusetts (how did that happen?), a very religious Mormon man, Mitt Romney, has like most religious people found a way to reconcile his actions and his faith.
Despite the commandment “Thou shall not kill,” Romney is preparing to re-introduce the death penalty to Massachusetts.
I’m always amazed when religious people call for the death penalty. The hypocrisy is insane on this one. Here are people who will dig deep into the bible to find one or two passages that, when parsed just right, will support their bigotry and hatred toward various people. And yet, when it comes to what is arguably the most clear cut rule in the bible, they simply and effectively ignore it.
