Contrary to modern-day perceptions, the early medieval church actually was repelled by capital punishment.

The saying was that "the Church abhors the shedding of blood."
That is: when ""modern"" countries do away with the death penalty, they are being especially christian, as is meet for a christian race living under fundamentalism.
The deviance is obvious. In those days, the tithe was mandatory. Can't offer a tithe if you're dead. The church, like all mortal institutions, is in favour of private profits + public costs. A fortiori, luxury envy/spite beliefs: they want to [[forgive]] the criminal, showing they're so rich they're unbothered by crime.
Which is to say, [never get so racist you forget white leftists are the worst people in the world].
Reddit is awful 99.9% of the time, but that 0.1% appears to reliably show up on search engines, so there's that.
