More importantly, Jesus was (as the story is told) a victim of the death penalty himself, and unjustly so. So I think that if the Christ were to return today, and he's anything like the being protrayed in the Bible, he'd be an ardent opponent of the death penalty himself.

Hmmm, it's an interesting theory. So does Jesus' anti-death penalty stance supersede the many death penalty sentences God lays out in the Old Testament? If Jesus is God then it seems as if God changes his mind a lot for a perfect all-knowing being; either that or he suffers from cognitive dissonance. Either way he flip-flops more than John Kerry in a waffle house; someone who we didn't want running our country... let alone the universe.
