For example, the Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is serving life for the murder of 13 women. He has been diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia. In his trial Sutcliffe said God had spoken to him and ordered him to kill prostitutes, it was God's will for him to kill these women.
If he truly thought he was doing God's work then what would his fate be?

Do we not read in Numbers:
They warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and slew every male.
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
Is it not interesting that if you do a search on the term "kill" at http://bibleresources.bible.com, in sorted order from Genesis on, there are 500 results before we even get through Jeremiah.
