Jill...Yes no easy answers...... Question.........Does the soul exist.........? Does...if it exists..'It' have an Eternal Presence.....?. Can The Divine be murdered...? When does It enter the form..( baby in utero)... Is Harming Wrong....?? Most Religions...Spiritual Practices say yes.......not even in defense of self.......should deadly force be used........ If 'Thou shall not kill'... is A Divine Law... Can we condone The State ...killing.......? How is the emotional state of a killer effected by a culture that kills as punishment for killing.........? I 'Believe'.Rendering to Caesar...the 'Need to kill... by the State' ...is in violation of... This Commandment...of..Non Harming.......... Buddhist View hold that All forms of Harming...(suffering) are founded in misknowledge...( read ...'ignorance'..).... Seems Jesus said the same 'Forgive Them....they know not what they do... " Wisdom and Compassion make us Humane Beings..... Not 'Our' sense of justice T
