Is Death so Evil? - Man made gods Part 4

Mankind has such a fascination with life in death that it deals in it every day. It is no wonder why so many stories deal with them and why so many people deal against and with life and death. Killers are a type of people who deal in death almost daily to a point where it became a profession. The military, assassins, hitmen, serial killers, vigilantes and even law enforcement and doctors will deal in death when needed. This story deals with a set of killers, The Crimson Killers, who are going after another group of killers, Judas' Disciples. They've chased them down to a forest where they hope to end the other's reign of death. While hunting them down, echoes of the Disciples talking about mercy and telling them to turn around or else. The Crimson Killers ignore this and go after the Disciples, but are ambushed one after the other and killed horrifically. One is sliced in half, another is dosed in acid, and  another is beaten to death with bare fists. The last one's limbs are chopped off then their head is cut off. The remains of the killers are properly buried and prayed over. Family's of the Crimson Killers are secretly sent the location of their bodies, but not much is done with the information. Judas' Disciples are killers who have turned from their evil ways to serve the Truth. When they aren't working under the name, Judas' Disciples, they're doing charity work, serving in the police, the military, and in the science and medical industry. When they do work under the name Judas' Disciples, they fight against killers who attack them first. They use tactics of old since self-defense is the only option. It is said that God prioritizes the people who are the farthest gone so others can see if they can be saved. These people in turn give their talents and abilities to the greater cause. People like Judas' Disciples evoke the Wrath of God and there is no mercy for those who chose to kill first and don't take the second chance given to them.

Another story sees a wounded veteran is being sent to a hospital. He gets put under for surgery, but when he wakes up, he's tied to several medical devices that keep track of his condition. There are several other people who have been operated on in the room. Some are severally mutated while others are gored beyond recognition. The marine quickly disconnects himself from the medical devices and waits for whoever sent him here to notice the disconnection. A couple people in medical outfits come in and he knocks out one of them and questions the other. The one tells him that they're in a special facility where they do secret tests to increase the lives of humans, but from what the veteran has seen, this isn't the case so he knocks out this man and explores the facility. He evades detection long enough to find out more on this mysterious organization. They're keeping people who are on the edge of death from their diseases and injuries alive to further their research. Most of these people are still in severe pain and continually suffer as long as they're kept alive so the veteran tries to find a way to shut off the facility's power. With his military training, he gets past all of the security and finds the explosives to blow up the main power source to the building. He gets to it, however, a researcher finds him.
The researcher says, "Stop it! If you do that, all of the research we've done over the years would go to waste! The deaths of the people who have been sacrificed for our cause would be for nothing!"
"This is tainted research!" the veteran snaps back, "It's already been for nothing!"
"What about the people who are still alive?! I've given them immorality!"
"And I'm about to give a lot more people that."
The veteran blows up the facility along with everyone in it including himself.
