Yeah, but that's because you're a normal person. Most criminals accused of doing something so heinous as to warrant a death sentence probably feel no remorse for it. Even if that is the way the criminal wanted it, at least they are dead, and no longer a burden to society.

Creating a massive cycle of Christian value and godliness for the whole world to follow... Until no one is left.

Since when has the executioner been placed under the confines of normal criminals? The executioners good is greater than the sin he commits.
