The majority of practitioners of religion believe in Islam/jewish/christian principles outlined in the old testiment. If not for religious/moral/ethical reasons, why should killing a person be illegal? If some guy rapes my sister, why shouldn't I kill that rapist for revenge unless God says that is wrong?

which sorta supports my point about killing people who did not kill anyone themselves. When to kill a person and when not to kill a person, that is the question. When is killing someone ok?
