The only thing holding me back

I think the hardest part of being a Serial Killer is avoiding the "God Complex". Once you start thinking of yourself as God (or A God), you're as good as captured. You really need to keep focused, and remember to take a step back every once in a while to remind yourself "I am NOT God. Just because I decide who lives and who dies does not make me God. Just because I keep getting away with it over and over again like some cosmically choreographed performance. I am NOT a God. Despite the fact that I am performing a service for my felow man, weeding out the "Bad Apples" and making the world a better place, I AM NOT GOD!!!"

See, if you start thinking you're a God, that's when you start geting sloppy. "Oooooh, I'm omnipotent! I'm infallable! I don't need to worry about leaving DNA at the crime sceene because I am part of the natural cycle of life and Fate will cover for me!"

And that's exactly why I don't kill as much as I'd like to; I know I'd fall in to that trap just WAY too easilly.

I'm not worried. You are clearly quite intelligent, but the big flaw that the intelligent keep falling into over and over is getting caught with porno pictures of little kids on their work computers with a trail that they have been sending them to people in power. So I know you will get yours eventually. :D

The first step grasshopper is you must evolve into something new. Only then can the whole god complex thing be replaced with something even greater. The birth of a killer is lovely thing to behold. So pure, so fragile, then you will see.

I should note that the "God Complex" also extends to when the kiler believes himself to be doing the work of, or has ecome the instrument of, God. A "Force Of Nature", if you will. But really, as long as you keep it real and remember that you could get caught at any moment? Not only will you stay safe, but you're erection will last MUCH longer with each kill!
