What if for a whole day there were no laws, and everyone could do anything and not be punished by the law?

What would you do?
And if someone tried to kill you, would you kill them?
If a few people raped and killed your whole family and everyone else you knew, would you do anything? and if so, would you kill them?

If a group of armed people began to burn the whole street, and would eventually burn your house down, would you try to stop them? if so, would you kill them all?

Would you randomly kill for the fun of it?
Would you rape anyone?
Would you burn everything down?
Would you kill everyone you hated or didn't like?
Would you torture anyone to death?
Would you cut people open and play with their intestines, liver, heart, and other organs?
Would you test taste what human meat tastes like?

Did I sin by pondering something like this and ask the question?

I would not do anything illegal. I don't obey the law out of fear of punishment; I obey it because I basically agree with it. That said, I would most certainly do anything in my power to defend myself and other innocent people from attackers, but I would avoid killing unless it was absolutely necessary (i.e., where failing to kill an attacker will result in my death or the death of an innocent person). Killing someone in cold blood as an act of revenge would fall under unnecessary killing.

I would not kill, rape, torture, etc. etc. I don't believe in sin, but I do believe that if you would answer yes to any of the questions you asked, you are almost definitely a psychopath, and you should see a mental health professional to see what can be done about curbing your antisocial tendencies.

Sarcastically I would get rid of all religious people off the face of this planet, along with murderers, predophiles, rapists.
Truthfully I would not do anything differently then I do now. I am an atheist and I do good because it feels good. I get my own reward for doing what's right. I don't need someone to tell me that I shall be punished if I make a mistake. thank you.

I would do nothing different from what I do now. It is not laws that stop me doing things, it is my own knowledge of right from wrong. Most people are like that - we KNOW what is right from wrong - laws are just for those few who choose to do what is wrong.

If anyone is restricted by their religion not to kill people or break into houses and their religious restrictions are the only thing standing in their way,they need to shoot themselves because they are a menace to society and they are retarding the human species

I wouldn't hurt anyone, but if someone tried to rape, kill or torture anyone I liked or myself then I would kill. I would kill for those reason even with laws.

I might steal a T.V from wal-mart , they can afford it.

I would only commit an act of violence in self defense......

But you do know that people can retaliate? How would you like to be injured or killed?

First of all, the answer is HELL NO to all of the questions from "would you randomly kill for the fun of it" to "Would you test taste what human meat tastes like". HELL NO. Why would I do that? The reason I don't do those things is because they're immoral and disgusting, not just because they're illegal.

To answer the first questions, I would try to protect myself and everyone else. I wouldn't, however, attack anyone from my own initiative. Btw, if there was a day with no laws, I think people would do things like stealing more than something violent... It's just human nature to be greedy more than violent.
