It is forbidden to kill; therefore, murders are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Dear God,
Maybe one day I’ll see you, maybe I’ll be another of your angels in heaven.
I know how you love us all and all, but sometimes I just can’t believe that,
and no matter how I try I can’t.
I want to be closer to you,
but the plain and simple fact is that I might be going to hell.
I’ll pack my bags and head for the gates,
and half way there you’ll turn me around and hug me while I cry.
And maybe by then I can actually feel something,
fear, pain, love, anything.
I think you have it, those emotions that I lack God.
Just give them to me already.
I won’t abuse them like I thought I would.
