  1. You will have a hard time finding a social mammal species where one member of a social group killing another member of the same social group is more than a really rare case. Also, "bloodshed" you refer to was usually a war - conflict between social groups, not conflict of individuals within the same social group. Totally different thing actually. Both from perspective of evolution of social species and from perspective of the Bible. In the Old testament the same God which creates rules "do not murder" and "do not steal" allows his "chosen people" to genocide whole ethnic grouls in order to steal their land.

  2. Dostoevsky didn't make Raskolnikov's position that murder is sometimes acceptable the strongest possible! Now if he wrote a book where a hero would contemplate whether to kill a sadistic psychopath who keeps several other people enslaved and terribly tortures them every day and will do it for many years in the future unless the hero stops him/her... and the only way to stop the sadist would be killing him/her.... and noone else would be there to free those victims apart from the hero.... That would be the strongest position. But in that case readers would be all for killing the villain. Apart from religious freaks who would say "it all God's will, we should leave it be, God says not to murder, so I will not"
