    Your analogy fails, too.
    Murder is the unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.

    Malice:
    1. desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another
    2. intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse

    God makes the law. God is not a human. God is spirit and light.
    Light automatically destroys the darkness when it come near the dark.
    If a sentient being, in this case the Biblical God, ends my life without my permission that is murder.

    I would agree with the one caveat that if a sentient being ends your life without your permission
    while you were trying to kill or harm that sentient being or another sentient being then that
    is not murder.

    It is different to kill in self defence or defence of others (when there is no practical safe alternative)
    than it is to kill someone who is not an active threat to the safety of other sentient beings.

    Killing another sentient being should be avoided wherever possible, and capital punishment is most
    certainly murder, but we can and should draw a distinction between killing in self defence and any
    other kind of killing.


    Note: Wars can be classed under self defence on the societal/civilizational level if and when they are
    properly justified and carried out correctly (all reasonable steps taken to minimize casualties ect)
    I am not suggesting by any means that all deaths in wars are murder, or that all (or even many or most)
    troops are murderers. I just wanted to make that clear.

    I concur with that caveat. 🙂

    You're right. It is straight out bizarre. You can take it straight out of the Bizarro Dictionary, compiled by SwissGambit.
