If we're talking about civil disobedience, that's quite a bit different than murder one. Yes, I believe people should have helped the slaves escape their masters.

I am not convinced it was legal in Germany to slaughter millons of Jews and other groups of special interest. On that point I could be wrong. As I stated earlier, it certainly wasn't legal in the international community. And if folks could help the Jews and the others, I would support them doing so, even if that meant taking up arms to do it. I support it in that instance because the government had become totally corrupted on many levels. It was out of control. And it does appear to me that we could be headed in the same direction if we don't get things back under control.

I agree with the fact that certain acts are absolutely wrong, and that doesn't hinge on the views of certain groups.

What some people don't seem to be able to grasp is that they are not the moral compass of every living being. So while you/they are right with regard to a rigid set of moral standards, that won't be what the other side uses when it decides who to murder. (reading your ending remarks, I realize you probably agree with this)

It is precisely because of that fact, that we need the courts to iron out what is permissable and what isn't. We cannot take the law into our own hands, because reason does not always prevail when moral decisions are made by various groups.

If we're looking at the genocidal erradication of born living beings, then I think you stop it by any means possible.

If we're talking about the innocent unborn, I despise the act, but I do not support murder to stop it.

I never justified the killing of Tiller. I agree we can't have anarchy and it is the government's and/or God's place to bring men like Tiller to justice. But, I refuse to consider it tragic that such an evil man is no longer alive.
