Erik I asked this earlier and you didn't answer so I will try again:

If you could kill an innocent person, without law enforcement authorities
intervening, would you?

I still want to know what this has to do with anything. I'm not going
to answer a question to have someone pull it out as some kind of trick
question, where any way you answer is wrong.

in that case the fault would clearly lie with the person pulling the
trick - you yourself have nothing to lose by answering a question
honestly.

It is not a trick question, it is a standard dilemma question, and your
answer in another thread has defined your answer to this.

You have no personal morality, your reasons for not doing a thing is because
of your diety's proscription of the deed. The danger here is that the same
diety can (through its human agents) tell you to do a thing and you would
seriously consider doing so.

Just think seriously about the implications of this.


Hey I'll answer the damn question! I ain't skeered!

If you could kill an innocent person, without law enforcement
authorities intervening, would you?

The answer for me is no, I would not kill an innocent person, assuming
of course that the innocent person was in fact a person and not just a
growth inside it's mother.
