I agree but for totally different reasons. The 10 commandments clearly state "Thou shall not kill". To kill someone for any reason other than murder could be seen as being very hypocritical in the least or going against the Word of God at most. I'm not trying to start a religion thread here, just making a point that is OK to disagree with and move on. I'm just saying this is another reason that it is a bad idea, even though all agree it is a heinous crime.
