We as humans believe that there HAS to be justification for the taking of human life.  Some people have told me that the police officer that shot the shooter at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin was justified for killing the shooter.  How can I condemn that officer for doing his job?  First of all, I don’t condemn him as I don’t condemn anyone.  Murder is giving reason for taking a human life.  Sometimes there IS no reason and sometimes when there is reason it’s justified.  Would it have been better if the officer had NOT killed the shooter?  I would say that is for God to judge; not me.  Maybe there are justifiable reasons for the taking of human life, but I would rather err by saying there is not, than to try to sort out the mind of God and say that God allows such-and-such and then say that God doesn’t allow for such-and-such.

            If I err by being too consistent about human life, it’s only because I do NOT believe God makes exceptions and I won’t either.  I know for a fact that God does not allow for murder.  But how then do I define murder if I say that the law is inadequate for defining murder?  Many would say the officer was right in the eyes of the law to kill the shooter. What I can’t say is what would have happened had he had not killed the shooter; for that is something I do not know.  I say that murder is the purposeful taking of human life regardless of law.  Maybe God will make exceptions and this is one of them.  I don’t know.  It’s just that for this reason, I could have never been a police officer.  In fact, I could not have done anything in life whereby the life of another would be in my hands.  I COULD be a medical ethicist, but the fact is that I cannot pull the plug.  But at the same time, I wouldn’t be able to declare a person dead, when in fact; he or she might not have been dead.  Police officers take an oath that I could NOT take.

            Now, even my children have asked me as to what I would do if someone came into my house to do harm to my family.  I don’t know.  It’s not something I have ever had to face.  Could I save my family without doing harm to another if necessary?  I don’t know.  I often thought about it, but then my thinking is and has been that if my Angels gave me this Message that I believe is for the world, it’s not something I am going to have to worry about based on other things I claim my Angels told me.  I knew at the time, it’s not something I would have to worry about, but just because I don’t worry about it doesn’t mean that others don’t worry about it, because it seems most everyone does at one point in time or another.  I would say God has ways for us to live so that we don’t do harm to those who hate and those who fear.  I have said for this reason, I am NOT quite human.  People have worries that I don’t have and there isn’t much I can do about it.  Peace.  Brother Ralphie For The Angels of Life Institute
