Your morality.

It is impossible to predict such a thing; everything depends on the situation itself.
I will answer like this: if you find yourself in such a situation in real life, only then will you be able to answer this question...
And what you are saying now is nonsense. It's the same as asking if you would be able to kill a person who killed your entire family...

I don't know how I would act, but I definitely wouldn't kill him. Even if I had the full opportunity to do so. To be honest, if I had the power and means, I would disfigure him and tattoo "murderer" on his forehead. Let him live with humiliation and the realization that I could easily have killed him. Maybe it's cruel, but that's how I feel about my family.

As an atheist, I don't believe in any kind of purification, etc. I would try to save him; making a deal with my conscience is uninteresting.

What does atheism have to do with it?:)

How can we know who would have been who and who killed whom?
If faith makes you see the devil in another person, then to hell with such faith!!!!!!!!
Nowizard, too pompous, IMHO.
God creates man, and man kills, carrying the Word of God? Personally, I wouldn't write this as an excuse for anyone.

And who said that I approve of this? It's pointless to deny the fact; fanatics have always existed. Not just in religion.

I agree 100%. It's easy to sit at a computer and write about how you would rush to protect a child with a knife. But half of you, if your back is against the wall, would not only kill a child, but...
Stop talking nonsense.

I agree, but I'll say the same to you - stop talking nonsense. Yes, all this is written while sitting at a computer, but you don't know anyone here; maybe some of them have already been in a similar situation, even if it didn't involve risking their lives.
