> The entire point of punishment is the cruelty

That's a pretty messed up morality. I don't even know where to start on this one.

How do you align this with "to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

Its also messed up ethics.

The purpose of having the government administer punishment for crime is to prevent vendetta. And from the first time this ever came up it came up as the government saying justice should be balanced. "eye for an eye" == "Punishment fits the crime"
