if god happen to fly down from heaven, grab you by the shirt, and say, " if you don't stop masturbating, you will burn in hell for all eternity!!".. would you listen, or would you knock one out the moment he leaves? killing is what humans do and we do it very well.. killing in the name of god is just as good of a reason as killing in the of a country that taxes you.. i guess everyone needs an excuse..

Absolutely not. God does not want us to kill. In fact, Christ teaching is love one another, even your enemies (Mat 5:44). If you can love your enemies (whom is the most difficult to love), then you have no reason to kill.
Who kills?
KING JAMES VERSION
JOHN 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Some religion consent killing to protect their beliefs or their leaders, which is absolutely against the teaching of Christ. Christ was crucified but nowhere in his teaching that He asked to avenge his death. In fact Peter was told to back down whilst He was being arrested. Christians are persecuted and NOT the persecutors.
What our Lord has to say about this killing in the name of God?
KING JAMES VERSION
JOHN 16:2-3
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
It is actually the opposite, it is not knowing God at all if you kill someone in the name of faith!

Nope. Killing is wrong wrong wrong. People that say that they are killing in the name of GOD are just using HIM as a crutch to do their own psychotic wills.

Yes. It is a fundamental tenet of Christianity to kill people of other (or no) religions.
No, wait...that's Islam. Nevermind.

No way , I dont even know the bloke. As far as I'm concerned if God expects that of us then he should be shot.
