You act like it is one or the other. You can say that the bible leaves room for us to make our own judgement all you want but God still said "thou shalt not kill". Now if you can find a new testament verse saying "if you are really upset cause someone wronged you disobey my commandment and go ahed and kill him" let me know.

God gave us free will. If he wanted us to be robots, he would of made us robots. He wants us to love him/serve him because we want to, not because we have to.
Man did not just make up the bible, they wrote down what God told them to, and what they saw.

And I see it as greed because he was greedy of being a hero. He did not let the right people take proper action on it, and he did it himself. That is greed to me.

If I COULD save a dozen people obviously I would if it is about to happen in front of my eyes
if someone already has killed people and then i take him when he is in prison and has no way out and THEN kill him then no

No. Not at all.
I might get yelled at for this, but:
I admire Hitler. He was a genious. He was so smart that he always had escape routes, and backup escape routes for his escape routes, and backup escape routes for his backup escape routes...and so on.
Hitler had amazing leadership skills. We have had worse presidents than Hitler!
It was sad that he used his talent for something bad, but maybe there was some logic behind what he was doing. Maybe. I'm not saying I agree with what he did. I am just saying he was a very smart man.
And he died. He got a different form of the death penalty. And I wouldn't kill him, that would make me a murderer.....as we talked about this earlier.

And if I had the chance, I would've walked straight up to him and put a bullet in his forehead, and then emptied the clip just to be sure he's dead. I wouldn't care if I would be considered a murderer either.
