Self Defense?

What is self-defense?

Clearly, if some crazy bloke was running me down with an 8 inch blade, I would be justified in defending myself by killing him in any way available to me.....

But what if said perpetrator was running me down with a voodoo doll? Further suppose I was naive enough to believe in voodoo, in which case I would likely feel justified to defend myself by killing him in any way available to me.

Am I committing felony murder OR could this be construed as a case of self-defense?

I guess it depends on the justice system under which I commit said action.....But still, what do YOU think.....more importantly, what might GOD think?
