You have the "right" to kill a human being if that human being , unprovoked, is attacking you or your loved ones.
Why? What gives you or me that right?
Actually...........it's in the Bible.
The original commandment wasn't "thou shalt not kill", it was actually written down as "thou shalt not MURDER".
If you kill someone who attacks you, it's considered self defense. They had the choice to choose to attack you or not, and if they did and lost their lives, it was their choice that made them do that.
However......................if you go and kill someone who isn't doing anything wrong, yet choose to kill them because your own mind says to do so, well..............that's murder.
You took the life of someone who was innocent and didn't deserve it.
If you kill someone who attacks you? You're defending your life and those around you. You didn't initiate the attack, they did.
So I can be like Dexter, feeling what it's like to take a human life, as long as my victim is not an innocent?
Are any of us truly innocent?
