Goodbye Bomber Suspect

[Birdbrain]

Ill try to keep my questions from causing a heated debate

This community has proven it can go through many more pages before things get out of hand many times. That is what I love about these topics.

I think the awnser to that one is God sees what's in a persons heart, there potential, shortcomings realized and otherwise. While we have a limited view. We only see what's on the outside, and the fruits of people's lives. So we can't determine whether this or that person should live or die

Oh yes we can, we don't need to look in murderer's heart, looking at his deeds is sufficient. Murder happens in real world not in heart.

[Birdbrain]

In this case its clear as day what was in his heart. In some cases, it may have been an accident and even though the person might hate the other person. And they say its a murder? What's in the heart does matter when judging murder cases

[Piotr]

Why is it ok for some people to consciously decide to kill a person and other people can be sentenced to death for consciously deciding to kill a person?

It is not ok to kill a person, it is only ok to kill a murderer.

[Birdbrain]

Is it ok to sentence someone to death who accidentally killed someone?

Edit: even if you think it was murder?

What is the definition of murder?

[Birdbrain]

Intentionally causing someone's death. If you think someone caused it, but it was really an accident is it ok to sentence them to death?

[Piotr]

Of course not.

[Birdbrain]

So what is in a persons heart does matter in these cases. And man cannot fully understand what is in a persons heart

[Birdbrain]

There is none. Except that some people say its ok

I break into your house, beat you up and tie you to a chair. I kill your mother while you are watching. Do you need to know what is in my heart to know if I'm murderer?

Wow. This is such an amazing quote. +1 to you Piotr. +1 to you.

[Birdbrain]

You would kill me too, espeacily sense i wouldn't just sit back and let you kill her. so noone would still know who it was. Also, if they catch the wrong guy, what then? They can't see into his heart to know he's the wrong guy. Also, what if he was innocent and framed? What then? Is it ok to execute him? Even though he's innocent?

[Vyse]

I break into your house, beat you up and tie you to a chair. I kill your mother while you are watching. Do you need to know what is in my heart to know if I'm murderer?

Well if you did that because my mother busted into your house and tied you up while killing your mother, without telling me, would that not change the situation? In your eyes you are just in acting justice but in mine you are a murderer.
