Now on the surface I'd say the baby or old lady outweigh the KKK but then again I can't see inside the KKK members and I can't see the KKK members' futures. Maybe some of those guys are "redeemable" or will do something great in the future and only God can know it.
So no I can't make that call. Besides every person is connected in an unending chain to other people and if I pull one string I affect all kinds of other people. Imagine Einstein or Lincoln had gotten pulled before his time. We might not have had the Emancipation Proclamation or being going to the moon today.
Leave it to God. Its much safer.
Isn't leaving it to God Osama Bin Laden's argument?
Lincoln did get "pulled" before his time.
If taking a life is a crime, taking two lives is two crimes. If we could have saved millions by killing Hitler, shouldn't we have done so? Or should we have left it to God? Would the victims on the planes that flew into the WTC on 9-11 have been wrong to have tried to kill the hijackers?
