*update*
The ASV also uses "kill". That makes it about 11 to 2 or something so far.

By the way... what about attempted murder, if blood is shed the bible mandates that person be put to death. What do you christians think?

That is self defense. I think it is acceptable.
Just try not to kill the guy. Shoot him in the leg (or between the legs)....that will make him suffer until authorities get there!

I'm not too knowledgeable on this but how do those normally turn out. If someone is trying to break into your house and you shoot them it is your word against the word of a dead person. Do you just tell the cops "he was breaking in" and they haul the body away and say "well done"? Anyone have experience with this?

I would think that if in court you plead innocent, and that you did it in "self defense" then you might be able to get away with it. But it all depends on each situation and each lawer. I know these two people that were in a car, male driving, woman in the passanger seat, and they got in an accident, and the man died, and the woman was badly injured, and the woman's family had pictures of the man getting in the drivers seat, and when it came to court day, the family of the dead guy said that she was driving, and she killed him. She got locked up for two years. So it all depends.

I'd like to point out this comment:
my buddy citizen01 is more apposed to the death penalty than i think anyone here.
me on the other hand, am the polar opposite, and think it should be extended to repeat child molestors, and people who commit treason like bussing over illegals to help destroy our economy(ok, maybe that's too far).
but we're both atheists and that's fine, because we don't subscribe to the same archaic book that dictate what we should and shouldn't do.
christians on the other hand, all subscribe to the same book that do dictate this very thing, yet some of you "christians" don't follow it, and some of you do.(but which is which?)

The anit-capital punishment crowd call us out on it because they know the "soundbites" of the Bible but don't go any farther. "Thou shalt not kill" and "turn the other cheek". But what about the rest of the Bible?

If they are outside your house, trying to break in, and you shoot them: murder
If they are outside your house, trying to steal your car, or break into a garage that isn't connected to the house and you shoot them: murder
If they are outside of your home, with the door open, about to step through and you shoot them: murder
They have to be in the house, and you cannot shoot them in the back for it to be declared justifiable. And don't even think of shooting to wound, then there are two stories, and courts tend to favor the guy that was shot.
