Can you give me a scenario?
I just did ask you whether it was immoral. You said that killing in self-defense is justified, but all other killing isn't.
You want a "scenario"? Christ, I though you religious folk had answers. You read more like a lawyer than a believer. Answer the question, or don't. Is killing a person to defend the life of an infant moral?
Your question was "Would you kill to defend your infant child? That is not self-defense."
Ok, what does this mean? You're asking if I would kill to defend my child, but then tell me it wouldn't be defense? I asked for a scenario so I could understand what exactly you are asking.

Just because someone makes a moral judgement, it doesn't follow that that judgement is automatically objective.
You're smarter than this. Quit stooping, and answer the points put to you without hiding behind rhetoric.
I know that this is yall's belief, which is why I was so confused by Neim's objection at me saying it was not inherently immoral.
I don't know how I can have an honest, conducive discussion if I get reprimanded every time I ask for clarification. ;-)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
