I understand Carlita. But one who makes people suffer, will suffer him/herself.

That is why killing is wrong. The person who killed is the one who suffers. Many reasons why killing is wrong. Its just contradictory to The Buddha's purpose...to save lives not take them.

Does God ever tell us to do so? Remember, it is a hypothetical question.

I would obey Him.

Thats an edit???

Killing and eating poop are two different things.

The first you are taking a life that is sacred from the get go.

The second you are just digesting waste. It may give eyou a tummy ache. Maybe some disease and infections. Its not a good comparison.

I would do both, If the God commanded me to do so.

here is says that Allah wanted all of the Pagans who would not convert to die.
Yes. But why ?
Methinks it is the conversion by the sword and over-zealous scribes who wrote this into the Koran.
In fact, the quran refers to Prophet Muhammad as “Rehmatul-lil-Alameen” or “the one bringing compassion for all worlds.”

It is a hypothetical question. In this question, yes, he does ask and the OP is asking would we follow though with it.

In Christian scripture, God does. Im not familar with the Quran if that is where you are refering to.

Outside scripture, I dont see the logic of how killing (edit) as an example of obedience pleases god.
