Ultimately, it doesn't matter if you're in the church of Christ our Superman, or Satan's Sharing Circle, whether you are insane, or autistic, whether you are man, woman, black or white. Everyone is unique and everyone has the same likely hood of doing good or bad. Being of a religion will not change who you are. That I am fairly passionate about, if not dramatic, but here's some logical stuff to:
In law, it is considered illegal to kill. If it was not illegal, would you kill someone? I assume whether it is law or not doesn't change your choice, because right or wrong is only influenced by what you are told, not decided. You ultimately will have the same morality, and empathy, and will to do good, no matter where you are.
Ah - So according to what you are saying, the people who happen to usually be Arabic Muslims who kill their sisters and daughters for dishonoring their family are not doing so because of their culture & upbringing - After all that doesn't matter - but because of who they are, and would ultimately be murdering the women in their families no matter what society they came from - as they would ultimately have the same morality and empathy, no matter where they are. Likewise, soldiers would kill regardless if they where raised to believe in defending their country and placed in a battlefield, and pickpockets would steal regardless of their socioeconomic background. After all, it's not about where you are from - but who you ultimately are.
What about them:
Why then did the participants of the Standford prison experiment not lead a violent criminal life before? After all, their morality and empathy (or lack thereof) was who they are ultimately are...
