Every day, I rinse my mouth out with Listerine. Millions and millions of innocent bacteria are slain by the alcohol and washed from my mouth. Their tiny life force is siphoned away in a matter of 60 seconds and some swishing tongue action.
Granted, bacteria aren't human beings, and probably don't have a soul let alone a relationship with their creator.
Considering I've slain probably trillions and trillions of bacteria in my lifetime, could I have slain the equivalent of at least one human being's worth of bacteria?
Now in the eyes of the God that many humans worship, I gather that I'm probably not a murderer, in a similar way that the OT God considered preservation of its own people above all else. In other words, since the bacteria aren't on God's "team", they're okay to slay. But... am I in danger of angering a possible other deity which serves bacteria upon our earth?

If Bush were asked this question, he would add Listerine to the "Axis of Evil".

You've got a good point!
At Marriott gift shops, they sell copier gods. These are small plaster greek gods that you can buy to put on top of your copier so that you can beseech them to ensure that your copies come out well.
Should we all go to the nearest Marriott, and buy a few gods, just to be on the safe side?

You must be talking about Buddha not God.
By the way Buddhist people loose a lot of karma every time they brush teeth, they will be reborn as bacteria. lol
Not offense, just kidding. (:-))

All you need to understand is that you and every one of us are a sinner, in need of a savior.The how you became a sinner is less important.
