It is not immoral to kill a mass murder. In fact, I think that it is not immoral to kill people who have committed premeditated murder or kidnapping/rape/murders such as what happened to Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in Tennesee in early 2007. Will it deter others from similar crimes? I don't think it will. However, in cases like this I believe that society is justified in expressing it's outrage that someone perpetrated such a heinous act. Will it bring peace to the family members? I know it wouldn't bring me any peace, but it would bring me satisfaction to know that those who put my loved one through hell got the same medecine.
It is moral to kill an enemy in war. Given that in war, the enemy is trying to kill you, not killing him would be indicate a total lack of respect for your own life and the lives of your fellow servicemembers around you. I believe that abortion is immoral, but that it should be the choice of the woman (or mother and father, if that is the case) to do this. It should only be legal in early stage pregnancies.

Try to keep it in perspective. A fetus is the most innocent creature of higher intelligence known to man ! It seems to me, anyone who would destroy this precious creature before it has had a chance to live life, is committing a heinous act.
Many of those who do this, destroy their own lives, because over time, the realization of preventing life is more than they can bare !
An enemy in wartime is usually someone who will kill you if you allow this to happen. To kill him first, he will be unable to carry out his plan, and that is a good thing.! The enemy we fight today, truly deserves to have his life drastically shortened. What possible good do these people serve with their devil worshiping beliefs, and their insistence that every one must believe as they do ?
It sure is clear in my mind, I hope I have made it a little clearer for you !

Hey, if your kill an enemy, you are doing the right thing. It's that person or you. If your christian,catholic, baptist etc. You would know, God gave us Free will, which practically applies to self defense, which you can use to save your life. It think God would want the attempted killer to die, instead of the victim. So if a Mass Murderer was killing dozens and dozens of people, then stop them! KILL THEM! Don't stand down and just let him keep killing, act upon the situation!

What's so difficult about them? Are you confused by the difference between what is lawful and what is moral? Better sort that out, or you're going to go mad.

When a woman walks up to you and says "I'm pregnant", do you ask her when the turtle is due?
No, you ask her when her child is due. If you kill that child, you are a murderer therefore it is an immoral act.
Killing someone that is trying to kill you is a different story.
