why would you choose a random comment in the bible like "eye for an eye" over an actual commandment "though shalt not kill" ?

I'm sorry, but from my perspective to argue in favor of capital punishment by citing the bible is nothing but folly

Not to mention that the original word for "kill" applies to all forms of killing, not just humans.

Forget about sensical discussions based on bibilical statements.

As i recall in the actual hebrew, in the commandments the most accurate translation is "though shall not murder" and specifically wasn't applied to all versions of killing.
