Think of this: Somebody kills your mom, then your sister or brother, then your grandma. Do you think it is right or wrong? Do you think that someone has the right to take those loved ones away from you? That make it wrong. Simple as that! Do you think it is right if someone murders you?

If someone murders me, that is what happens. It does not have to be someone's fault, a wrongness. Besides, we don't end, we can't. We only change form. The person who murdered me is no different from me. They are a part of me, making choices.

Murder is ending someones life without their permission (otherwise it is assisted suicide i guess).
If they do not want to die, then ending all of their life, which cannot be reversed, meaning they may never have any more existance (depends on whether afterlife exists) and that all of their oppertunities, freedoms, joys, life, etc, is cut short.
Do you have the right to take that from someone?
Do you have the right to cut short their chances at love, work, joy, cut short their search for good things and their chances at good things?
id say that murder is wrong, it should be pretty obvious.
Lets say tomorrow was going to be the best day of your life, and you were going to go on a date with the person you love, and i killed you tonight.
Would you see that as being a right thing to do?

Hello in:

Some people need God to tell them the difference between right and wrong. Some people don't. I belong to the second group.

Personally, I'm staying away from the first group. They're scary.

JudyKayTee agrees: You forgot the third group - people who need (or, even worse, QUOTE) God to justify their position a discussion/argument. They are even more scary.

No, because while you are Christian - and apparently reborn - everyone else may not be.

This is a legal board and so I will answer in a legal manner - yes, because the law says it is.

Now, if you are talking morally or spiritually - wrong board.

I think excon's answer is the best one so far.

As I see it man is a social animal. This means he has to co-exist with others of his species. To be able to allows people to co-exist with each other, there has to be rules that govern how people interact. Otherwise we have tyranny and rule by might. Civilized man saw long ago that rule by might doesn't work well for any length of time.

In my opinion one of the reasons for the existence of religion is to instill in people that sense of right and morality that allows for people to co-exist. Whether those rules were handed to man by some divine authority (the 10 Commandments) or devised by philosophers who saw the good in those rules is a moot point and I'm not going to argue it either way.

The point is that civilized man has realized the need of such rules to allow for the growth of civilization. and such rules have stood the test of time and have been codified into the laws of political states.

Judy has an excellent point here. So I've moved this thread to the Philosophy forum.

Murder is right for the murder because they always justify it. Whether it is joe blow down the street, the government etc...
By the same token the family,friends or people that are left are the ones that say it is wrong because something has beeen taken from them. The dead can not tell us how they feel about it.
Ineedhelpfast....Do you think murder would be wrong if I wore a sign everyday that says "Do not murder me, I do not want to die"

I read a book that dealt with this question to some degree. It was called Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh. Are you by chance reading it or one in the series?
He was a little too deep for me so I did not read the whole series.
