Lethal injection is not a Biblical form of execution.
Should the death penalty be changed?
We could go back to things like stoning and crucifixion then.
I would definitely support making the death penalty laws less strict. I think that if the criminal is willing to publicly apologize for their terrible actions, then the death penalty should not be an option.
Hypodermic needles or even a good working knowledge of the circulatory system were not around when the Bible was writtenLethal injection was not around by the time the Bible was written
Inane rhetoric.What I'm hearing from most people in the Republican Party,
is that modernizing the death penalty is OK,
but modernizing marriage is a bridge too far.
Is that right?

Crucifixion was not Biblical. It was Assyrian and Roman.
Stoning is Biblical. Jesus put severe restrictions on this as a form of lethal punishment.
It is hard to say what exactly it is about lethal injection that the OP objects to. The purpose of lethal injection is to make the punishment all about death, rather than a slow tortuous process with death coming as a final mercy.
Bad idea. Well actually decent idea, but one that has a very serious problem. The guilty can apologize for what they did. The innocent cannot (unless they lie).
There are far too many cases as it is where at parole hearings it is denied because the convicted person refuses to admit their crime. Not surprisingly a fair percentage seem to be the innocent.
Actually, it was those who felt that other forms of the death penalty was inhumane. They are the ones who have done things to change the way the death penalty is carried out. I am not sure you can pin it on those in the Republican party.
While the GOP may defend it, I can tell you that the idea of it came out of those who pushed for more humane methods of carrying out the death penalty. These are the same types who support PETA and other such entities. I don't think you can pin the origins of it on any one party, but you could make the case that it came from the liberal side of things.
