And still, I can't really argue on this. I'm just shocked that most people here would rather kill than receive a few bruises. It just blows my mind that there is so many willing to kill for something as pety. The emotional damage of killing someone will be a lot worse than the damage you get from a mugging. So you lose, no matter what .. the only difference is that you'll still have your pride.
And for those of you that believe in heaven and hell? What are you thinking? That you'll still go to heaven, because he had it coming to him?

You misquote.
It's "Thou shalt not commit murder".
Killing in self defense is not murder.
And who are you to say that taking a beating imparts "less emotional damage" than defending yourself?
As to the "heaven and hell" part, if you are somehow trying to put in "eternal damnation" for killing someone, even if it is "murder" (which I don't believe it is), murderers can enter heaven...if they are repentant. If they couldn't, then we are
all screwed that way.
