The person would be somebody that you do not know or have never met and you would know absolutely nothing about their background.
Would you do it?

Isn't there enough mindless violence in the world without questions like these?

No. That's what's wrong with society today. It's too easy for people to kill somebody with no regard to the repercussions. They are numb to the whole idea that taking a life is morally wrong. People out in the world today will kill you for five pounds, much less one million.

I believe killing is wrong and do not kill anyone or anything. I don't even kill the slugs in the garden that eat all my plants. Once you've killed someone, you would then be a different sort of person (one that has killed another person) and you would never be able to go back to being someone who has not killed. The only justification for killing someone would be in self-defense or defense of your kids and even then you would still be changed into a person that has killed another.

I would be too afraid of killing someone. I mean everyone is going to be accountable for their actions. If i ever did such a thing i would be in a risk of going to hell. God is most forgiving and kind and i would never take advantage of that. So no matter how much money you give me I would never kill someone.

No. That's blood money. I remember Orson Welles famous speech as Harry Lime in The Third Man in which he asks his friend whilst they look down from high in a Ferris wheel, at the people below, each one just a small dot..."If I offered you 20,000 pounds for every dot that stopped moving, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you...calculate how many dots you could afford to spend; free of income tax, old man, free of income tax?"
I always knew I'd tell someone to keep the money. I just could not distance myself like that.

No because that person could be Innocent have family and be a really nice person who's never done anything wrong or ever hurt a fly... but if you knew who they were or what they had done and they were a really evil person then would consider it... may ask for more money!

Certainly not, I'd never get into heaven for one, and what on earth would I do with a million pounds knowing that it caused a man to die? He might have children, he might have been a newly wed, he might have to look after his sick mother who then died of starvation without him... who knows, it's just not worth it.

No. Mainly because you'd have to put the money in a bank account to keep it safe and then the police would just see whose bank account radically got 1 mill pounds and then they would come and arrest you. Ha!

Nope. I'd be more likely to step in and protect this perfect stranger. I sure as hell would be on the cell phone calling the police.
People with money are still people.
