great post don tomasso.

but i think the fact that the corleones are a bunch of killers(not murderers mind u), but killers indeed, excludes them from god's circle....in the very famous novel 'crime and punishment' the author (fyodor dostoevsky), is of the opinion that murder is never acceptable no matter how wretched and worthless the victim may be. obviously a lot us stand firmly against voiding any life, or dont believe that god would ever tolerate it either....dostoevsky's crime and punishment and tolstoy's war and peace came out within 5 yrs of one another and are said to offer differing views on this subject of killing. PERHAPS FANS OF GF SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO THESE TWO CAMPS.
