If someone murders another person, that person is out of his/her misery. But if you kill his or her loved ones, that is as bad as torture- or is torture-mental torture. I was thinking torture- whether mental or physical or both.

YmirGF, why don't you explain what you mean? And try not to be a troll this time.

It is what it is
If you could kill someone and by doing so ensure that they don't stumble and miss heaven on your account, would you do it?

I don't understand the logic... you would do the worst possible thing that you can imagine doing to another, for the sake of you not breaking a commandment?
How about this then... if you new that you taking the name of the LORD your God in vain would ensure that someone else didn't stumble and miss heaven on your account, would you do that?

Anything that deals profound and permanent emotional and psychological damage.

Actually i don't understand the logic of the question.Why must I kill someone to ensure salvation? Also what am I doing to this person that is the worst posible thing?
I believe babies are not held accountable and go to heaven when they die but I don't kill them to ensure their salvation.
I have taken his name in vain for a lot of lesser reasons. Just out of anger and frustration.
Walking as a Christian doesn't mean you don't sin or have faults, it means you admit your faults and confess them.

I feel so much better, now, about putting my cat down.

Being ignored sucks, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as watching your family be tortured and killed and then having old milk thrown all over you. actually, I'd rather be ignored forever than have old milk thrown on me every day. I guess it's just a personal opinion though... Maybe some people would rather be raped and killed than be ignored. I guess negative attention is better than no attention?
The thing about being ignored when you are a social creature is that it pretty much makes you go mad or kill yourself. It is very isolating. Being raped for instance is horrible but if you have enough support you still find things to make you happy or to live for.
But I will agree that having your loved ones suffer would be even worse.

Murder, as in, of human beings.
You are hereby absolved of all guilt. Feel better.
Why only humans? Is the life of an animal not important to the animal?
I think, maybe, that Willamena was conveying a different message. I could be wrong though.

No. You should feel a little bit guilty. That's normal. Deciding to kill your kitty, even if it was probably "best" for the kitty shouldn't make you feel guilt-free. You should feel a little bit bad at least... Damn. It's a tough decision, and I think you should feel guilty whether you let the kat suffer or have it euthanized. Either way you might be deciding something the kat would decide against.
Killing kats is murder too. Euthanasia isn't as bad though, because your heart is in the right place, so to speak.

Well, you can 'feel' guilty, but society won't find you 'guilty' per se.
