[ExI] Luciferian Murder?

[Adrian Tymes]

Even "kill" implies intent.  Can you think of a term that makes it clear
that basically all such cases are done in complete ignorance?

As to Canonizer - it's a similar problem, and similar to the one I have
with most interpretations of Christianity (where Lucifer comes from).  You
act as if the points of view ("camps") on your site are the only ones to
consider.  (Yes, anyone can make another camp, but this takes a lot more
work to do well and thus is usually not worth doing.)  Thus, on many
(possibly most) issues, debates on your site start with false dichotomies -
and there does not seem to be much if any outreach or research to try to
find points of view that someone on your site is not already strongly
promoting.

You have demonstrated that you're just not interested in doing that sort of
work: you would much rather debate and defend points of view than actively
try to discover what, if anything, you're missing in any given case.
Perhaps you might respond that you are interested in this, then I or
someone else would call BS, rather than commence research you'll just
defend what you've done so far, and it'll be an aggravating waste of time -
so I'd rather just not engage in that.
