I have to ask this in all seriousness.
If God really appeared before you and instructed you to murder someone would no part of you question your own sanity?
Surely it must at least cross you mind that you might be having a schizophrenic attack?
Assuming this possibility does occur - what would you do next?
Suppose the demand was worse than merely murdering an individual. Suppose, just for example, God asked you to fly a plane into a building?
Would being asked that raise some questions as to your own sanity?
Well it'd disprove everything I believe, but ignoring that....
Of course I would think I was insane. I'd present myself immediately to the nearest psychiatric hospital.
If I really was insane, or I really did think I saw what I saw, the outcome would be equally condemned by everyone, unless some others also knew of its validity... So how would you tell? I could be saving humanity, or existence, and your be thwarting my plan by obstructing me.
A core part of my belief is cross checking for validity. Crazies will be crazies no matter what.
If a new law came out that stated that priests can molest children only if its done in churches.. would you be ok with that??
