    I'm gonna use this saying the first chance I get... Or perhaps start a metal band with that as the name.

    I can see it now... first it'll be all like

    Then maybe a little bit of

    Then a bit of

    And finish with a bit more

    Should be epic.

Understanding the words (written by man) about the path laid out by God is never as easy as "do this and don't do that" . In this case Carl wrestles with that written fact that "Thou shall kill". To him is a basic rule /line that can not be crossed for any reason or he is doomed. I would counter this line of thinking by saying "The Lord is most forgiving." Every mistake you make can be forgiven. IF you forgive than so shall he. The big picture is always hard to see all at once and if you use your heart to make decisions you will never go wrong.
    Sooo, If my scenario matches yours , I would not hesitate for 1 second to take the life of 1 who is guilty of a major sin to protect even the life of 1 other who is innocent. Shall we not protect the weak ? Shall we not fight evil in every way ? If you are not killing in vengeance, or out of anger, then how could you be wrong ? How could you not be forgiven if you are most forgiving yourself?
    Boil it down to "What would God do ? Let all die or strike the evil 1 down ? I am not saying you should make this judgement like you were god, just saying, he would forgive you if you did. If your doing everything else right :<0)
    I THINK you get what I'm saying, apart from 'Thou shall kill', I'm pretty sure you mean 'Though shall NOT kill'

    Also, again, I'm not talking of killing someone who is NOT innocent, as in someone attacking my family or me or even someone else, it's about killing an INNOCENT person, and yeah, tarnishing my soul.

    I'm thinking maybe i would be forgiven, BUT, imagine if we ALL played the game? Imagine now if NONE of us played the game?

    Good conversation this subject has generated...

    I wouldn't worry about the kiwi's Darth, I am sure you could take them out before they got anywhere near you.

    Damn it. Now I'm seriously concerned about my own mental state. I had him hoisted over without much more than a fleeting moment of hesitation to evaluate the situation. Maybe I would've made a good assassin and I missed my calling...

    To put a twist on it, what if your son/daughter were the person harming others.
    Would you put an end to it to save the life of others?
    At any cost help your son/daughter, even if that meant you yourself now would be part of hurting others?

    Funny how questions like these we have in this thread can bother people like us but politicians have no problem with it!

    My luck; I try to toss the fat guy, he gets the best of me & tosses me over. I land in front of the oncoming train, it derails & kills everybody on board. 30 minutes later, my DMV photo is on CNN, as the fat guy gives an interview, stating to the world, that he say me committing suicide standing on the rails.
