Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich make the case that the death penalty is morally problematic, racially biased, and counter to the way of Jesus. And beyond that, it's just a bad idea to give the government the power to kill its own citizens - especially when for every nine people executed, one person on death row is exonerated.
