Why is killing wrong?

[scorpia]

Well? Why is it, outside of religion? It is according to the law of my country, mostly, outside of debates such as euthenasia or self-defence. But then there's other countries, where it's legal say for a woman who caught her husband cheating to kill him. It's fine for them to do so in a jealous rage. Why not elsewhere? Becase it's appallling? What about the other emotions involved? How about how the jealous wife feels?

I cannot speak for others, but for me killing is wrong because i have empathy for others, as well as morals.

That would be the preverbial nail on the head. Unless we bring back the premise of a survival tactic, or the idea of personal judgement or satisfaction. It's a very shallow idea to begin with, killing someone else. Scenarios tend to differ I know, but it's still the same action no matter what the motive.

I'd hate to use survival as an excuse, especially since it just revolves back around personal gain....hmm.

Malicious intent, and justification of it, that seems the only logical idea for taking a life, but that's still such a grey area.

If do unto others is a good philosophy then killing is bad.

Survival and personal gain is quite acceptable because our whole life is dedicated to these two issues. We all must gain personal knowledge before admittance to Heaven. Learn of good and evil.

Even personal intent, eh, I don't know if I can bring myself to accept that. It's one of the more violent, judgemental of actions. The intentions of each and every scenario have to be taken into account, and most of the time someone lies.

Quite simply, because I value human life. Let's say my friend made the mistake of cheating on his wife, I'd be upset with him, but I wouldn't want him to die. Most of my friends are female, and likewise, I wouldn't want them to succumb to such a a weakness of emotion. Yes, it hurts, but even Biblically we have the idea of an eye for an eye. It doesn't say an eye for the heart or the whole body. There's really little justification in my opinion for killing a person over cheating. If it happens in a fit of rage, ok, but that doesn't make it alright. What countries allow this? Please tell me, I'll be sure not to go there. Probably the same country that would cut off a person's hand for stealing an apple.

What about how the jealous wife feels? I'm pretty sure she'll get over it. What about the family of the slain man? The wife at least has a chance to move on. I'm not advocating cheating, I find it a gross violation of trust between two people. My daughter's mother was cheating on me. Actually she was doing a lot worse than that, but I'll leave that to the imagination. Should I have been able to strike her down? Grab my samurai sword and slice her right down the middle. "You W*#$!!" Would that be acceptable or does being a man make it different.

It all boils down to this: put yourself in the place of a person's family. If it were your brother, father, uncle, grandfather, friend, etc, etc. Would you still feel the same? Would you be accepting of the wife putting two bullets in the side of your father's head? What about your brother? What if the wife had been cheating on the husband? What if, what if.... There are so many variables, play with them and see if the scenario changes. If it does not, then simply I would be of the opinion that this person did not value human life.

Not to mention the fact humans that were far better than many of us did so; a human so forgiving that he gave his life for others; this same human that told others to echo this forgiveness. I forgive, because it is an emotion I was taught by people i trusted. It's a message echoed on Sundays all over the country. It's a message that teaches us to rise above the weaknesses that have plagued humanity for far too long. :2gun:

I have heard where in some countries men can kill their wives with impunity.
Please advise what country you are referring to in your post?

The Bible states that justice is near an eye for an eye.
How do we apply this to sin if man can sin for 120yrs., and the penalty of hell is 12000000000000000000000yrs.,+.

This kind of stupid response adds nothing to a discussion and is beneath the intelligence you display elsewhere.

If you do not have the time or have no thing to add just say so and run away.
Do not make us think your an idiot.

this must be to SIMPLE for you,

but i'll spell it out for even the simplist of minds.


it may be NECESSARY to kill; to protect my family, self defence.

BUT MURDER IS TAKING A LIFE FOR THE WRONG REASON.

really not that dense now is it. USE YOUR HEAD.FOR MORE THAN A COAT RACK
