Personal reasons: as above, nobody has the right to decide when someone will die except God. If God has decided that it is time He shall call my loved one home, then I will acquiesce. I will pray for their safety, but if it is His will, why should I try to halt it?

I hope you understand that this kind of reasoning would require that medical care should not be used, for, if you suppose that circumstances leading to death must be God's will, and you do not wish to try to halt God's will, you must then suppose that someone that has fallen gravely ill should be permitted to die.

This also assumes that you really know what God wants in any particular circumstance.

You also overlook the fact that, as I suppose that your god is all powerful, you could not really do anything without Him permitting you to do so anyway, and, thus, you could not defy God's will.

Similarly, if nothing can happen without God letting it happen, must not everything that happens be God's will?

He gave us the capacity for medicine for a reason.

I don't know what He wants except through revelation. If He truly wants me to use the bone marrow of this other unfortunate, then He would either speed his natural death or cause him to accept my arguments.

God gives us free will. What we choose to do with it does not necessarily happen through God's will.

For the first one, I'd let him go scot free.(that is, unless he was a Scot).

Practical reasons: no reason to keep him in jail. No reason to execute. Execution will bring a public outcry, jail could make him a criminal AND is expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the intent of the legal system in America that it is "better that ten guilty men go free, than one innocent man be imprisoned"?

Personal reasons: death penalty is wrong in any case. Nobody has the right to decide when someone shall die except God.



Second case

I'd not kill him.

Practical reasons: you could get caught. They are likely to try and find who did it. Won't people think that it's strange that you got into an argument with him, and then somehow knew he was dead? Also, there's the problem of the transplant surviving that long. He dies, nobody will check on him until at least the morning. It could well have decayed so much as to be unusable by that time. And the negotiation will take time too.

Looks like me way have our first tank.

So last year, I purchased M2TW gold, and RTW BA.

First problem I found, about two days after I purchased them, was that I merely had the Medieval 2 total war vanilla discs. No expansion.


Fine. Went back and got the right disks.

Now, funnily enough, the store was about to close down.

The day after, I tried to install M2TW. Now, assuming it was like RTW, I didn't care that the cd key wasn't there.

Mistake two.

The store had, by this time, closed down.

I found a way to get past the cd key (0000-0000-0000-0000-0000). Plain sailing from then.

Today I decided to install barbarian invasion. Opened up the case.

A copy of Rome Total War...vanilla.

BLARGGHHHHHH

Get new friends Well, whatever works for you.

Yes, because satellites have perfect precision down to single metres.

Helicopters are better used to gun down zombies.

And good luck with getting a sniper close in to the horde.

They aren't innocent civilians anymore. They are revolting/zombies. That is all there are.


Commence a full evacuation. Use tanks to cover our retreat. Helicopters clear the way. Call in an incendiary bombing. This city must be cleansed.
