Do you not think I have morals?
Or do you not think that this is a moral question?

Originally posted by stellspalfieMy reaction is similar to kev's. If I was told that a person believed they were told by God to kill someone, I would conclude that they might in fact do it. There is no reason to exclude myself as a possible victim of such a hallucination.

However, my current conception of God would have to be drastically changed. First, I would have to believe God was an existing person, and not, for example, a construct or principle. Then there are the character issues. 🙂
What concerns me is that there seems to be a lot of people whose conception of God would not have to change very much, for them to believe that God was telling them to kill someone.

Unequivocally no.
I have moral standards.
standards. So I reason that if I am willing to kill a stranger to protect the
life of my family or go to war to protect the lives and freedom of the people
of this nation, that I should surely kill a stranger at God's command. It must
be the moral thing to do. HalleluYah !!! 😏

Good News Translation (GNT)
36 Jesus said,
My kingdom does not belong to this world; if my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. No, my kingdom does not belong here!
You just don't get it do you? You CANNOT serve two masters and you seem to think you can.
