I think man is inherently selfish. However, it is surprising and very wonderful how people come together in a crisis. Somehow when there is no focus, people seem to wander off the unselfish track and do all sorts of nasties to others! And then all of a sudden, there's an accident, a tragedy and low and behold a whole army of people come forward to help.

All of life is precious. God can redeem anyone and will contend with someone for a very long time in an attempt to bring them to Him. Even if you've had a miserable life and done terrible wrongs, if you turn to God and humble yourself, He will redeem you. I think, however, that God makes it clear that the Commandments mean murder. He gives rules for war and the death penalty elsewhere. He does demand justice for wrongdoing. But that doesn't mean that a murderer won't find himself in heaven when he dies. Jesus didn't pull the thief down off the cross, but He promised he'd be in heaven that very day.
