God said “Thou shalt not murder.” I don’t think there is much room for debate there no matter who did it. Please explain if you feel the same in other situations such as:
- Execution of a murderer convicted in a court of law.
- Fatal shooting of a rapist in the act by his intended victim.
- Bombing of military target, with numerous military fatalities, in the course of a war.
- Assassination of a universally reviled dictator such as Hitler, Pol Pot or Stalin.
I am genuinely interested in your response to this.
