Murder, by the word is extremely malicious. Killing, is neutral.
I've killed plenty of animals, for food mainly (Venison is nutritious and delicious). However I love nature and animals. I've killed bugs, but I feel no anger towards them (I even find them pretty interesting).
I have never murdered anything. Nothing in the heat of passion wanted that thing to exist from this plane of reality. Nothing killed simply for my amusement, nothing for my shear thrill of killing. Nothing malicious.
That is where the line is disjunct. You say it's all murder to you, well that's great but you're changing the meaning of the word to fit your argument. I can't say any color in the spectrum is the same as the color red. Yes red is a color, and shades get extremely close to shades of other colors. However, as close as red and yellow can get to each other they are distinct colors.
I hope you get my analogy.
