The Commandment is "Thou Shall not MURDER," Actually.
""Innocents are killed all the time; the unborn, the born (Sun Hudson in Texas) children in Iraq (from terrorists or from US bombing runs), Terri Schiavo, or perhaps wrongly convicted prisoners who were executed.""
And does that make it right? Does that mean I can kill.
""but I guess it really depends on one's perspective and how any of these "reasons" to kill can be justified in our own minds.""
Moral Relativity. We have a justice system, law enforcement, a judge, a jury, lawyers. The question is, "Is that person a risk to society? Did that person murder? Did he or she kill or MURDER."
Do I really have to get into this in depth?
Semantics are hardly worth debating but there is little difference between murder and killing aside from potentially the level of malice.
"And does that make it right? Does that mean I can kill."
I personaly don't believe in killing in any form, but if you choose to recognize it as legitamite in any form; abortion, execution, terrorism, then yes it means you can kill/murder because you have justified it in your mind and will find others in the justice system, law enforcement, judges, juries, lawyers who will support you and thus you have granted yourself the ability to take life.
It happens everyday.
