Of course it is different to kill in self defense. That isn't what we're talking about though. Murder is still murder regardless of the situation.

"Murder" is a legal term. Words mean things.

Is it your position that no one who was ever executed after conviction by the Inquisition was a threat to society? That there was no justification for any of them?

The charge of "murder" is a serious one, and you seem to not understand that.

You set yourself up as the highest authority to pass judgment on those in the past that don't meet up to your superior standards.

Quite the opposite. ... The judgement I passed is one of intellectual and spiritual honesty

LOL. You're into self-parodyland now.

No, Murder is an act - period. As in Ten commandments "Thou shalt not murder" .. lest we forget that is the commandment.

You're equivocating. Try again. Scripture is plain. Jesus said you've no right to stand in mortal judgement over the sin of another. Put down the sword, for he who takes it up shall die by it. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. The Adulterous woman's crime demanded the death penalty. It couldn't be any more clear cut, sir. No way, no how. There's no way out of it.

It is a serious one and I'm full aware of the gravity of it. That's precisely why I use it. If you take a life wrongly, that is murder. When Jeus the Christ himself has told you that you have no right to stone the woman to death and you commence to stoning her, you have committed murder. See, your philosophy isn't just nullifying the word of God, it is rationalizing the right to commit murder. It's pretty plain. But, you can't see that.

LOL. You're into self-parodyland now.

No, not really; but, if you think you need to humor yourself while you ignore weighty arguments as though it's all just games, that's your problem.
