Ohoooh - hope that asher neither read this thread - I made my usual misspelling of "right"
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Uhmn - no - that doesn't really count since it is considered legal and a part of a soldiers job.Originally posted by germanos

What was asked for was reasons for random kills.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

actually it's a valid point as I used the word kill, not murder. Killing is killing no matter what the legality of it is.Originally posted by BlackCat

I'm not sure if I could do it. I was in the military, but never had a job that required killing. Though I suppose I could do it to defend my ship from takeover. In essence, it would be self defense. That's the only time I could ever envision killing.Comment

Ok, point taken. I took you OP as what could make a single person do it without any obvious reason (the reason for my little rantOriginally posted by Dis

About soldiers vs selfdefence. Are you saying that you wouldn't shoot unless they shot at you ?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Slayer is cool. If only I could figure out how to post audio files in a post. Then I'd force you to listen to it.

If I kill some infidels can I have some of teh gay virgins?I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

If you want the analogy to be better it should be a used car versus one that has never had its engine started. The "new" one may not start, may need additional oiland may need all kinds of maintenance before running properly. The used one . . .Originally posted by BlackCat
I guess it's like cars. If you buy a used car, you don't know how it's abused and what hidden damages there may be, but with a new one, you feel more secure.

That could give you some problems since most ships are built to be offensive even in defense.Originally posted by Dis
yes that's what I'm saying.
Do the submarine or bomber plane have to fire/release a bomb before you will shoot or are their intent to do it enough ?With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
