Suppose there are two scenarios:
1) Man accidentally kills another.
2) Man attempts to kill another but fails.
Which is more condemned? I think atheists and Christians would agree number (2). Therefore, it is the intent that matters. Jesus said, "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer" (1 John 3:15). The hate is condemned, not the action, and God does the judging, not us.
"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7).
The german law defines the accidental killing of a human being as:
Quote:„§ 212 Totschlag
(1) Wer einen Menschen tötet, ohne Mörder zu sein, wird als Totschläger mit Freiheitsstrafe nicht unter fünf Jahren bestraft.
(2) In besonders schweren Fällen ist auf lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe zu erkennen.“
translation:
Quote:§ 212 homicide
(1) Whoever kills a person without being a murderer, can only be punished with imprisonment for less than five years.
(2) In especially serious cases can be seen to life imprisonment. "
homocide in which a person through his actions willingly accepts that people might die are "especialy serious cases".
the german law defines punishment for attempted murder as:
Quote: § 23 Abs. 2 StGB kann die Strafe für den versuchten Mord gemildert werden. Bei Anwendung dieser Milderung wird ein versuchter Mord mit einer Freiheitsstrafe von 3 bis zu 15 Jahren bestraft
translation:
Quote:§ 23 Section 2 of the Criminal Code, the penalty for the attempted murder can be mitigated. Upon application of this mitigatiion is an attempted murder with a sentence of 3 punished up to 15 years.
no need for jesus. the laws are set and are the same for everyone.
