If you follow that reasoning to its logical conclusion then widespread murder of all doctors who perform abortions is justified in your "state of war."

That may satisfy emotional impulses, but it defies the laws of God which are higher than our own feelings.

Murder is a sin.

No. I didn't compare killing Tiller to the killing of Hitler, the writer did, and then said it was off limits.

I'm saying he either needs to draw the distinction he failed to draw, to show how it is possible to make war on Hitler given the argument he is making. I have not defended the killing of Tiller, I'm pressing to see if this writer actually believes you can't morally make war on Hitler.

I'm trying to see if he has inadvertently taken his argument too far, or if he meant to say that you can't morally make war on Hitler.
