RE: How would you respond to a person killing someone else because God told him to?

Superstarr -
In my belief system, that would never happen. I don't believe that god works in that way. Your question is confusing because I'm not sure if you're asking what I'd say or think after doing it, or what others would think. I can't speak for others and what they'd say in reaction to me doing such a thing, but speaking for myself, as the one having done it, I'd feel terrible and immediately review my ideas on what god is and does (assuming I did it, which I never would). I'd never do it even if I felt that god was telling me to do it, but if I did I guess I'd feel terrible. If someone else did it or felt that they had to, I'd hope that they seek help, and get a grip and realise that god doesn't work that way. This type of question is of course hevily based on the bible, it doesn't reflect how theists think.
