IF you can’t see your own example there is a HUGE difference between “killing” and “murdering”, from both a moral and legal perspective, friend, we can’t talk about anything anymore. You think a judge doesn’t know the huge difference in the two terms?

Killing someone is NOT the same thing as MURDERING someone. That is why the commandment dealing with this is translated accurately as “Thou shalt not murder” or “Thou shalt not kill without just cause”. Killing someone, in self defense (ie a JUST reason) is completely opposite of killing someone UNJUSTLY (ie murder).

You picked a terrible example to try to make your case on.

Not really. Would it be better to stand before a judge and say you killed someone or murdered someone? Would you REALLY have a preference? Think a judge or a prosecutor ISN’T going to see an admission of guilt in either statement?

Or maybe it would be better not to say anything at all if you didn’t have to?

You’re making it either-or. I’m saying it’s a false dichotomy. I don’t understand why you are still nitpicking about which words to use to incriminate yourself or to let people into your “business” when they didn’t have any need to be there.

I’m saying the WORD for it doesn’t matter. Keep quiet about it! Keep hoarding! Keep stockpiling! Keep whatever!

Besides, that was only one sentence in my post. The rest emphasized what I said before. Don’t dilute or distract from my original good advice...get what you need NOW, while the getting is good, and leave the wordsmithing to the liberals.

Have a good one.
