He thought it was a funny joke to put sand in the anal lubricant at the mid-week orgy....
So it was justified.  
The result of a cost vs benefit analysis.
And I heard the parties had become lame.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

He attacked the Senate, robbed from the rich to give to himself, protected his position by bribing the army, declared himself divine, and embarked on a number of ego-boosting building projects. These are all things emperors are supposed to do. He fulfilled his duty in grand style. Boru

They didn't kill Caligula.
Caligula killed them then rewrote history. He retired to Ireland. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
The powerful regardless of religion or class, or nationality are all about power. Our species flaw is not understanding Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech.

He also wanted to move the empire's capital from Rome to Alexandria. This may have been the last straw for the senate and the praetorian guard who had already lost most of their influence to control his lunacy. One of the chief assassins, Cassius Chaerea, may also have had republican motives for killing Caligula.
