      ma que cazzo question is that?

      no because he he is without sin casts the first stone and because only God has the power to give and thus to take away lives

            Jesus was against lots of things.

            these days being a christian means to do anything but what JESUS (hallowed be His name) wanted you to.

              Jesus wasn't against the death penalty. He flatly asserted he came to upheld old Jewish laws, which, among other things, included mandate of knocking off people who tried to work on Sabbath day.

                  I thought Jewish laws applied unless he said something which directly contradicted them i.e. turn the other cheek

                    No...while you can interpret the one line many times. I think other parts of the gospel make it clear jesus did not like the death penalty.

                    "that's the problem with the bible and mr Christ: you can interpret them a gazillion different ways"

                      Jesus did not come to uphold old jewish laws. Why do you think the jewish elders wanted to kill him?

                        Jesus specifically said he was there to cast away the old laws, didn't he?

                        At any rate, it wouldn't be unusual for the right-wing Christians to support something Jesus would find repugnant...they do it all the time.

                          It reads like a Hollywood script where the hero smiles affectionately down on the good deeds of his son/apprentice/whatever.

                          I also think it would be hard for anyone being crucified to actually turn their head to face another person on a cross and smile at them. I don't recall the bible version saying he did that either.

                          More likely Jesus would have made a thoughtful reply.

                            Jesus performed miracles on the Sabbath, and he wasn't renowned for being a hypocrite

                              Didn't he say "Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do?" or something like that?

                                When he was being put on the cross and his clothes lotted off, but not in response to those being crucified with him.
