Nonetheless, you're telling your children not to do it because the act of fighting is inherently immoral or because you're concerned that it would cause them a lot of tangible trouble if they did at this point?
Quote:I have a broader understanding of when fighting is OK. In the same way a case could be made that it's OK for God to kill because he knows when it's OK, but we shouldn't because our understanding is limited.
Not saying that's the case but it is internally consistent.
In what circumstances is it okay to kill unnecessarily? We lack the knowledge and capacity to solve all of our problems without killing, but that is not true of an omni-being like God, is it?
And, assuming that there are such circumstances, does awareness of them ensure God would only kill under those circumstances?
