On killing in Gods name Let us be sober. Pope Francis is calling us all to reflect deeply: bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30835625 Killing in Gods name is not new. All the major religions of the world have had adherents who invoke their devotion to religion as a reason to kill in God name. The Old Testament account of the ancient Israel in the Bible is replete with stories of this nature. However, in todays world, in the light of the revelation of Jesus, as Gods love for the whole world, and what we know of religion and the world, there is no ground to kill in Gods name. No one is free to kill in Gods name. Human freedom can only be exercised within boundaries. This is the essence of laws, norms and customs. Freedom without limits is not freedom but recklessness. Limits are what distinguish humans as moral beings.
