Killing or even shooting at someone without a good reason tho, I can't even imagine doing that.  When I try to imagine it, I find myself transfering my own enjoyment of being alive and horror of pain and/or violent death onto them and it's just literally unthinkable.
You figured all this out without accepting jesus christ as your lord and savior?

In a word.  Even if I could get beyond the abstract fellow feeling that makes me automatically abide by the golden rule, there'd be the consequences of the action to deal with which would probably be more than I'd want to handle.  Angry friends and relatives of the victim, the angry victim if I didn't manage to kill him, the paperwork the police would insist on, the possible jail time.  There are just so many reasons unconnected to belief in a god not to screw other people over.

I was a designated marksman (sniper) in the military. As such I posess the ability to cap mine enemies from very great distance with little effort or risk. I am also an amoral, self centered, evil atheist (according to christians).
Yet I have never taken a shot at someone, despite the fact that there are people I despise and think the world would be better without.
I have means, often motive, and opportunities a plenty yet I do not kill. Strange. According to xtian thinking I should be a mass murderer. ;D

There more I get to know about life, the more I realise that I will never be able to understand women.

Right?  I don't even totally get it, and I am one.  I HATE guns and am an old married woman besides, but when Guardian mentioned that he was a sniper I couldn't help but wiggle my eyebrows a little.  It's beyond explanation.

I think you're right Guardian.  I already picture you as a ninja, and then you add the sniper thing.....strokes chin thoughtfully, stares off to the middle distance.....
