True. Christians often whine that atheists cannot have morality without their pathetic god, yet they willingly admit that they can sin all they want, since one hail mary and they are forgiven all sins. What gutless cowards.

Absolutely not. It is never OK for anyone to do deliberate murder.
Matthew 5:21-22 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago,'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment'. But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother shall be subject to judgment...." (from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount )
Romans 6: 1 - 2 -- "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?"
1 John 1: 8 - 10 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him our to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."
Because a person can be forgiven of sins as a result of repentance, does not mean that those sins were ever "OK". A sin is a sin is a sin. ALL sin separates us from God if not repented of.
Since you don't believe there is any such thing as sin to be forgiven of, or anyone to forgive you in the first place, why do you care about it?

Anyone can be forgiven but killing someone is a very grave matter and commiting a mortal sin.
its not 'ok' at all.
No one should decide when its time to take someone's life...thats all up to God.
And sure we can be forgiven but we just cant be like, "hey I'm gonna sin today and be forgiven tomorrow." it doesn't work like that. that is called 'assuming forgivness' and that of its self is a sin.
God Bless!

Sin is never okay as you put it. Killing someone without justification (self defense) is murder. God says that we are not to murder. Even though a Christian believes that he or she can be forgiven of any sin, this does not mean that they can Choose to sin with the thought that God will forgive them. God does not forgive deliberate disobedience. It is for those sins that even Christians will be judged in the end.

Neither Stalin nor Hitler were Christians. They both rejected Christ. Stalin rejected Christianity in adopting the communist platform that rejects all religion, and Hitler did so in his many private statements. Joseph Goebbels, for example, notes in a diary entry in 1939: "The Führer is deeply religious, but deeply anti-Christian. He regards Christianity as a symptom of decay." He also murdered many Christians in his concentration camps.

Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler were Christians. Christians won't chaim them and want to disavow them but they were Christians.
You didn't need to add the hahaha. It isn't dignified, you made youself look small with that end hahaha stuff.
Atheists do not HAVE to be better, they simply are better because the do not make up bogus excuses for bad behavior.

Hmmm~ I wouldn't presume to be saved if I murdered, especially if it was pre-meditated. Read the Gospel of John, there is mortal sin and venial sin. Mortal sin can cost you your salvation. Murder is a Mortal Sin

No, I'm free but it's not by my freedom that I will do something wrong in front of my Lord!
To kill is the act of the devil not Jesus' act!

No one has the right to kill anyone. That right is solely for God.
