If the procedure is legal...it cannot be murder. If you want to consider it to be a barbaric act...you are free to do so. I would have to consider all the factors before I could make such a judgement.
Legality can't be your only measuring stick of right and wrong. But since it is your only way of determining right and wrong, since slavery was legal was it still not slavery?
Forget about legalities. Let's just use a definition of the word in question:
You used the word "murder."
"Murder" is DEFINED as the illegal taking of a human life.
If it is not illegal...by DEFINITION...it cannot be murder.
What is so hard to understand about that?
As for "slavery"....yes, when legal...it was still slavery.
And as far as Christianity is concerned...there is absolutley nothing wrong with slavery....right?
