Data collected during the last 15 years for the Personal Philosophy Inventory from 1.48 thousand university men (n = 629) and women (n = 853) were analyzed to discern the response characteristics of individuals who stated "yes" to Item 136 "If God told me to kill, I would do it in His name." The percentage (7%, range between 2% and 8% per year) of affirmative responses did not change significantly over time. The odds ratio for men: women for an affirmative response was 1.4:1. As predicted a four-way interaction for sex, weekly church attendance, history of a religious experience, and elevated complex partial epileptic-like signs was statistically significant. Of the men who reported a religious experience, attended church weekly, and displayed elevated complex partial epileptic like signs (5.7% of all males), 44% stated they would kill another person if God told them to do so.
对过去15年从1480名大学男性（n = 629）和女性（n = 853）收集的个人哲学量表数据进行分析，以辨别对第136项“如果上帝告诉我去杀人，我会以他的名义去做”回答“是”的个体的反应特征。肯定回答的百分比（7%，每年在2%至8%之间）随时间没有显著变化。男性对肯定回答与女性的优势比为1.4:1。如预测的那样，性别、每周去教堂做礼拜情况、宗教体验史和复杂部分性癫痫样体征升高之间的四向交互作用具有统计学意义。在报告有宗教体验、每周去教堂做礼拜且表现出复杂部分性癫痫样体征升高的男性中（占所有男性的5.7%），44%表示如果上帝让他们这样做，他们会杀死另一个人。
