Is it OK to kill someone...?

Question

who thinks it ok to kill someone b/c of their religous beliefs...

Just to watch them beg for mercy while you hold the match over their gasoline soaked body.

I personally think I should try negotiation first..any1 who would kill some one because of their religous beliefs must be pretty weak-minded.

lol......How am I hitler, I am killing a murderer who killed b/c someone who did not share his beliefs was killed by him. I would be like the Allies storming Normandy.

I am asking this question because of a question another pserson posed. I would never kill anyone unless i was defending myself or another innocent person. Just because I can me cruel and merciless doesn't mean I would be.

Answer 1

I think that, no matter what a person has ever done, no one deserves to be punished by having their lives taken away from them...

Answer 2

Because of their beliefs? No.

If it's a fundie X-tian or muzzie trying to push their crap down my throat I will give them a warning before I kick their a&s. People that violate personal space because "God" or the prophet told them too need to be given some lessons in civility.

Answer 3

Religious people obviously seem to think it's just fine to kill and/or murder people in the name of God, just check out the crimes against humanity caused by religion over time. Mind you, religious people probably think it's cool to kill, because the Bible sets the standard. For example.

God is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:

GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Seems to me that God (for believers) is annoyed with humanity other than his buddy Noah, and decides to kill (murder) every living thing on the face of the earth, except of course Noah and his family - got to have a few friends left.

Answer 4

It's never right to kill someone. And I do believe whoever feels the need to kill someone because of their religion is narrow minded and not human. I hope your'e not thinking about doing something crazy like that b/c it WILL come back to haunt you.

Answer 5

If you want to kill someone you're gonna kill them, but at least let it be for a good reason, like they're wearing a plaid shirt or have a mullet. Not religion.

Answer 6

Quran [5:32] "If any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole of Humanity: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole Humanity."

Answer 7

Immaterial. If you are ready to kill, then it means you eventually become someone elses' target. And on it goes. I think that's where the expression comes from: Never start something you can't finish.

Answer 8

The Abrahamic religions (People of the Book) have been killing people over religious difference for millenia, so I guess they think there's nothing wrong with it.

Answer 9

No, what if someone in your family was killed just based on their religous beliefs?

Answer 10
