Is religion still alarming? should we be careful with religious people?

Question

yesterday a guy asked mainly to Christians if they would kill members of their family if God asks to... some said basically 'yes'... so, do we have to be careful with these people? what would happen if, just if they 'imagine' that God commands them stuff like that? i know we all are able to kill because we have instinct, but to repress it is what makes the difference with other animals, so what do you think about these people?

here's the post

Answer 1

We should wipe out the religious for our safety.

It's what's logical, don't you agree?  Logic should rule.

I'm Atheist!

Answer 2

Those people do not know the scriptures because God does not ask people to kill any family member or any unbeliever.

If a entity appeared and said I am God kill this person, that entity is not from God.

Answer 3

Well yes those people are nutters. BUT we cant blame the religions for this, because a God that doenst exsist cant tell you to kill....these people have voices in their heads, and they think its god!

I think there are always people who think "god" is talking to them! i dont think it has anything to do with any religion!

Answer 4

Some of atheist are serial killers, should we be careful with atheists?

Answer 5

It is alarming to me at least.

Answer 6

There have been serial killers who have heard voices that told them to kill.  Maybe it was God.

Anyone who is willing to kill just because they heard a voice or a person or a dog or anything tell them to really needs to have their head examined.

Especially when it is one of their commandments that you don't do such a thing.   Not to mention it is illegal and really isn't a good choice in life.

The one who said God didn't aske them to kill family needs to read that Bible again.  Sacrifice = Kill  Just because he stopped the sacrifice of the son doesn't change the fact that he wanted to know if he was willing to do it.

Answer 7

No, his misrepresentation of the story of Abraham just goes to show what his agenda was.

If he could read the part where God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, he could also read the part where God stopped Abraham and provided the sacrifice for him.

But that part didn't fit with his agenda now did it?

Answer 8

All religions should have been done away with years ago
