Mick, yes, I understand that, I just can't endorse it. Too many people I know and love have lost someone because of another's beliefs.
I find it difficult to comprehend the fact that someone could make a conscious decision to take someone's life for an ideaology. I would go to great extremes to defend the people I love. Perhaps if their or my life was in danger, I'd be capable of killing, but to murder with premediataion is just horrifying. I don't believe in god, so I hold life as the most precious thing we have. To me, there's nothing else out there when it's gone, so we have to hold onto life and preserve it wherever possible, because it's all we've got - a wee moment of existence - so how could we ever take that away from someone?
