    Terrible. How can anyone be so messed up mentally to do something like that.

    The only killing that is acceptable is of self-defense. Killing in war is also unavoidable...

    Makes you wish Columbus had landed in India.

    Today's Clutchfans news:
    In a sad, brutal story, a child was sacrificed in India despite efforts to stop the practice.

    Internet atheist RedRedemption found this an opportune time to mention that 2000 years of violence could be related to Christianity and Islam.

    More on this unnecessary development to come.

    What about preemptive self defense? What about incapacitating an attacker in self defense (ie - shooting an attacker in the leg instead of the head)?

    What right does anyone have to take another person's life?

    Because rural, illiterate, poor people living in horrible conditions who seek refuge from life's realities would not pray on society's weak members because they believe in Jesus instead of a local deity?

    Not to mention that the Native Americans more or less got wiped out because Columbus came over there. As an Indian, I'm quite ok with not having that happen to us.
