Maybe. Personally doubt it as once people get a taste of it they learn to justify it to themselves. But even if so, at that point someone is dead. Someone else just paid a high price for your revelation.
How do you balance the scales on something like that in your own heart and soul?

Well, if the God of Abraham is in the equation, then that high price is really not that high, if the victim's soul was in order. But yes, I know what you mean about the taste for violence. But I think a parallel could be seen in a comparison of a heroin addict and a fanatical bridge player.
Sure, the heroin addict ruins his life; but by that very fact he may come to see his own penury. If bridge can come between a person and the duty of that person to God, then the effect is the same, no? And the bridge player might be in far worse trouble, because after all, "it's just a night with the ladies from the Club," isn't it?
