I'm asking these questions probeing the world of morality this afternoon.
Thanks.

Answer 1

what wife would admit that. you might think about whacking her too.

Answer 2

Well if your wife was having an affair with this man, then it would not really be rape, would it?

However, this information still would not be more of an incentive to kill the man.

I try to follow what Jesus said for situations like this: "Let those of you who have not sinned cast the 1st stone."

It is refreshing to answer these earnest questions on morality that you are posing, so keep probing the depths of morality and maybe you will find the center, as I have.

Answer 3

while we are probing lets assume that somewhere there is actually a law written that explains the morality of killing and not killing. Lets assume this law says you must not kill without sufficient thought being undertaken previous to the act.

Under this law the person that you describe would not have done wrong where as if a person just did some foolish act and to hide it or avoid the impending automatic results of that action frivolusly took a life without even considering that lifes rights to exist then that person would be disobeying the law and commiting an amoral act.

if only somewhere there was such a law and it had not been mistranslated for the purpose of protecting people like the lover rapist person and people who ripe off peoples hard worked for stores that they reliedon to hold them over in future times of hardship when they might be unable to work during. what dayathink layken

Answer 4

You don't just sit there and let someone assault your wife. You get the guy off of her by whatever means possible. If she hates you for it, maybe it wasn't really rape. Then you have even more problems! You are the king of loaded questions this afternoon, Sean. You are a moral man. Listen to your heart.

Answer 5

What you did was acted upon a moral standard of faith and devotion to your wife. Regardless that she was not happy enough within herself that she felt in neccessary to seek the arms of another man, instead of being honest with herself, has nothing to do with your moral standards, or those of other men
(society) So is killilng morally wrong yes, but so is standing by and watching someone be killed or emotionally killed(rape)
Some of us just have to pick the worser of two evils, in a sense.
I wish you well.




I wish you well

Answer 6

In my opinion killing him would be a little too extreme, if he was seriously beating the woman then that's different.
(Assault and battery are different)

I don't hear about alot of women dieing from being raped...and assault does not involve touching a person at all, it's just the threat of immediate harm. So, you should be more clear about what he's doing to her.

Answer 7

If the husband killed on the assumption that his wife was being raped, then what she says after the fact does not matter.

Oops! Forgot two things: Yes, he acted morally, and HI, SPOOK!!
:-)

Answer 8

The commandment was mistranslated in many bibles, it says "thou shalt not murder", not "thou shalt not kill". There's a big difference between murdering someone and killing. To protect someone who's being assaulted, it's not murder.

If you can't tell the difference between your wife having an affair and rape, then you probably shouldn't be married.

Answer 9

Are you taking a class in criminal justice? That would be up to your lawyer to prove you thought she was being raped. But you will probably get a manslaughter charge. As far as you thinking it was a moral thing to do it still falls to the lawyer to prove it was a mistake on your part, but you would be guilty of murder in a sense.

Answer 10

i think of it quite is variety of severe to jot down off marriage by way of fact some adult males kill their different halves. some women kill their husbands, too. i'm excited to get married, even nevertheless i'm previous 35 and characteristic seen many divorces. the guy i flow to marry isn't ambitious in that he needs a huge abode, lots of automobiles and a trip abode -yet ambitious adequate to artwork for his very own corporation and to assist me in my quest for my own corporation. i admire him and can't think of being with anybody else - yet I additionally comprehend there are not any ensures in existence. Yeah, i might get injury - yet I see no think approximately residing my existence in worry.

Answer 11

People with morals are not wimps. The man has a moral obligation to protect his wife in perponderance to the evidence before him, not afterwards.
