On the question of taking a
human life, for example, the
church has always distinguished between
killing and murder, murder
being the morally condemned act, and
killing the physical act which
is not always wrong.
Unfortunately, as a former Christian, well acquainted with sin and confession and the whole bloody business of sacrifice to appease Someone who thinks that shows «love,» I question the whole ancient story, all the animals
killed, all the trees cut down (for temples and
churches and crosses and «holy books») and all the
human beings left to feel separated again and again from the universe, Nature, each other and their «gods.»
