If a Texan Scott Roeder shoots and kills a burglar exiting a neighbor’s house, is this an unGodly murder?

If the policeman Scott Roeder shoots and kills a man who is in the process of killing others, is this an unGodly murder?

If the soilder Scott Roeder shoots and kills a German soilder under orders from Dwight Eisenhowerser or FDR, is this an unGodly murder?

If Scott Roeder had killed George Tiller while Tiller had the foreceps inside a living baby’s skull, would this have been an unGodly murder?

If Scott Roeder had killed Osama bin Laden while bin Laden was passing around the collection plate for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Islam, would this have been unGodly murder?

Yes, if that burgler wasn't a threat.

If the policeman Scott Roeder shoots and kills a man who is in the process of killing others, is this an unGodly murder?

No. He's protecting the life of others.

If the soilder Scott Roeder shoots and kills a German soilder under orders from Dwight Eisenhowerser or FDR, is this an unGodly murder?

No, that was one of the points I made.

If Scott Roeder had killed George Tiller while Tiller had the foreceps inside a living baby’s skull, would this have been an unGodly murder?

Unfortunately, yes in the law's eyes. In God's eyes I believe it's another matter (see your second point).

If Scott Roeder had killed Osama bin Laden while bin Laden was passing around the collection plate for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Islam, would this have been unGodly murder?

Yes. Osama bin Laden, while a fugitive from American justice, was not engaged in any life-threatening action at the time. The proper course would be to see that he's taken into custody.

I still believe in a nation of laws, for what it's worth today. And in America it's criminal to kill someone without sufficient reason; regardless of who or what that person is. That's the rule of law. And that's what we conservatives preach every day. We talk the talk, we have to walk the walk.
