If you get out of bed in the morning and go to work you run the risk of killing someone some how so would you honestly argue that this is the same as intentionally, willfuly, premeditatedly and conciously murdering someone?
To begin with two things being similar is entirely different to those two things being the same. And frankly I wont even bother debating whether being involved in a car accident in which someone dies is the same as murdering the person.

Are you seriously suggesting that a moral code can consist of nothing more than, for example, "I think killing people for no reason is good so therefore it is"? Are you seriously suggesting that such a moral code can be accepted as anything more than delusion? If that is your stance then there really is no point discussing the issue because our frames of reference are so far apart that no proper discourse could possibly be achieved.
