You're right. You're not the only person that believes this. All we ask is that you accept that you're wrong.

Any jurisdiction that has removed capital punishment but maintains life imprisonment, like the Netherlands, believes it to be less severe.
You'll have to take it up with the Netherlands on why they believe it to be less severe... or why death penalty sentences are "reduced" to life imprisonment et al... but it's not particularly a great argument to just say "you're wrong" when all of this strictly a matter of opinion.
