For example - If someone abused a child or raped a friend of mine I'm fairly sure I could kill them and live with it - and if it was my own child I almost certainly would. However, the Law says that if I follow through with that I go to gaol, separated from my family.

The Law is about enforcing the same standards of behaviours on everyone. If there are parts of a country where the writ of the Law runs thin then that must be corrected first.
Also, the acceptance across England, since Henry Tudor at least, that there is but one state in England, whose rules are independent of any holy book. I have no great desire to turn the clock back 500+ years.
