If I ever got drafted for some reason and I couldn’t run away or anything like that, is it bad if I just disable people instead of capture them or kill them? Like I want to go to heaven when I die and the Bible says thou shall not kill. I don’t like confrontation so I don’t like the idea of arresting people. What if I just turn the enemy into a bunch of wounded warriors? Is that so bad? Just paralyze them from the neck down, they get to live in a wheelchair for the rest of their life, when they go back home they’ll probably live off welfare and get a little cap saying they’re a veteran and get discounts on stuff for the rest of their life. That’s not so bad. God could probably forgive that, right? Just one quick tap of the hammer to the back of the spinal cord, leave em out in the field. Easy.

The Catholic Church has changed their stance, but traditionally suicide was considered to be an unforgivable sin in Christianity because you can’t confess the sin of suicide before death. So that’s another thing. If you get captured, how do you make sure you don’t kill yourself while you’re being tortured to make sure you get into heaven? That’s a tricky one…

But if you die in a holy war as a martyr of the faith, then pope Urban II said you don’t have to spend time in purgatory, you go straight to heaven and are immediately forgiven of all of your sins. So it doesn’t matter what you do fighting in a holy war as long as you die fighting the enemy in the end, you will be forgiven. You just have to make sure that you don’t survive.

My other thought was just taking a high powered laser and blinding people. But I googled it and somehow that’s a war crime but shooting people isn’t? Makes no sense.

If someone tries to kill you, but you cut their hands off or blind them so they can’t do that, but you don’t take their life so you’re not a murderer as well, in a way, that actually does seem pretty fair as a punishment. Because now their life isn’t worth living but they’re forced to anyway.
