To use the unforgivable curses, you have to mean it. I guess members of the order aren't evil enough to want to kill like that?

Because it was illegal. The Death Eaters were able to get away with it because they ran the Ministry. Eventually they did, though. Harry even used the Imperius Curse against the goblin to get them into Gringotts. By the time the battle came around, they obviously were using the Unforgivable Curses... Molly even used one to off Bellatrix.

Right, before the Death Eaters ran the Ministry they got in trouble for using the Unforgivable Curses, that's how Bellatrix got into Azkaban, for using Cruciatus on Neville's parents.

evil will always win because good is dumb

simply because it's illegal and after all they don't need to kill them, they can erase they memory or at least part of it, and after that they can be "normal" people

I agree that the Order probably thought that, morally, it was wrong to use the Unforgivable Curses. I noticed too that, particularly in book 5 (and even in the 5th movie), the Death Eaters are shouting Avada Kedavra, while the Order is only using Stupefy! But as was said, they were probably just trying to make a point that killing isn't the answer.

As DD said it isn't easy killing someone anyway. I agree violence never is the answer.
Evil will not always win and good is not dumb!! And people say I'm cynical! x

Because they're the consummate good guys. They're on the same side as the government, which means that they can't take crime and punishment into their own hands killing people who do wrong.

Using the Killing Curse would conflict with their views, wouldn't it.

No, murdering someone rips your soul apart. You don't have to use avada kedavra to commit murder. And killing someone in self-defense or some other dire situation isn't exactly murder. As for the Order using avada kedavra, we know for a fact Kingsley didn't. He said he injured two, you can't injure with that curse, and might have killed one. When using avada kedavra there's no doubt about whether they're dead or not. There's no real conclusive evidence for any of the others.

I believe the Order as its name is to create Order in the world not by killing people but showing the what they were doing was wrong, but as time went by death eaters became much more stronger, and being tactless by killing won't help, just think this, what if Harry killed wormtail when he had the chance?? would he still be alive??? think... and you will find ur answer.

I think they're trying to prove the unforgivable curses are wrong.

Or put them in Azkaban.
I agree with how you have said it. It's the principle of the matter, they are illigal.
