It's easy to rationalize. The mugging is an assault on my rights, my body and my property. To defend myself in such a situation is a matter of principle. In real life, I wouldn't kill the mugger unless he or she kept attacking me and I had no other choice, but I won't be a willing victim.

I'm an agnostic, myself. But hey; anyone who tries to commit a violent crime against me might end up in a position to tell me whether or not there's an afterlife.
