[ExI] Luciferian Murder?

[Brent Allsop]

Thanks, everyone, for all the helpful comments.  Especially thanks Adrean,
your examples which are especially helpful.  True, I hadn't fully
considered the definition of murder, and how intent is normally included.
Other's have balked at using the 'murder' term for similar reasons which
I've been struggling to understand.  But these examples of yours enabled me
to clearly understand the problem.

Would it fix the problem if I do a global replace of murder with kill or
killer?  Seems to me that would fix things.  I want to focus on the acts,
and the results of such, whether done in ignorance or with intent or not.

Also, I apologize for so far being unable to understand the problems you
have with Canonizer.  Would it help for me to ask you to not give up on me,
and give me another chance?  As I really want to understand.

I guess I'm mostly just asking if I am the only one that constantly thinks
about this type of "luciferian killing"?  I am constantly asking myself if
the actions I plan to do today will help, save more people, or not help,
killing more people in a luciferan way by delaying the singularity?

Does anyone else besides me ever think like this?

Thanks
Brent
