I may be reading too far into your post but I think God Given Rights is a better slant for an orginization than rights given to us by God to impart upon you.

They also have this in their mission statement.
That the free exercise of religion, the right of private organizations to associate freely, the right to free speech, and the right to keep and bear arms are essential civil rights to be protected, not undermined, by the judiciary.

What's wrong with capital punishment?

The problem is the possibility of killing an innocent person. It's happened before.

We've probably locked up innocent people before and allowed them to die in prison doing their life sentence. Other then a expedited death what is the difference.

I can honestly say that is the most PATHETIC defense of capital punishment I have ever heard! Would you feel the same way if it were your mother, father, or one of your children?

I used to be pro-capital punishment. My beliefs have changed over the years for a couple of reasons.

1) Too many times in recent history have convictions been overturned due to DNA exoneration. I don't know about you but if my ass was sitting on death row for a crime I didn't commit, I'd be a little tweaked.

2) I personally think that being locked in a cage for the rest of my natural born life is a worse punishment than taking a short ride on the electric school bus. Maybe that's because I enjoy my freedoms too much.(those that I still have anyway).

As for God-given, blah, blah blah, I challenge you to find the word God in the Constitution. There is a reason it was omitted. Current geo-political situations are a prime example of why.....
