I knew stealing was wrong, I knew killing a person was wrong, I knew lying was wrong, etc. And moreover, I knew why it was wrong... I knew why murder was so terrible, etc. Oh sure, I still played with GI Joes and Hot Wheels like a kid, but I wasn't stupid.And I didn't even grow up in a religous household that shoved the ten commandments down my throat. These concepts aren't hard to grasp.And in a medieval (or even quasi medieval) setting, it's likely that children would be given much less leeway than we do.And to be blunt, it's just not an excuse for some things, no matter how much you would like it to be. If demons say "If you kill your parents, I'll give you toys", and you kill your parents for toys, tough. You made your bed, you have to sleep in it. Only so much can be excused away as "childish stupidity".</blockquote>
