What part of thou shalt not kill did you misread?

It doesn't say kill, it says murder. There's a difference between killing a man and murdering a man. So does that mean you think every soldier or cop whose ever had to take a life in the line of duty are murderers?

Exodus 20.13, KJV : Thou shalt not kill.

Shit, I'm an atheist and I know that.

does that mean you think every soldier or cop whose ever had to take a life in the line of duty are murderers?

Nah, I don't hold with this superstitious nonsense.

That's the KJV. The original Hebrew word has certain connotations that may make "murder" a better translation.

KJV is a terrible translation of the Bible. But even if it weren't, it's still a translation. You need to read it in the original language it was written in with an understanding of the way that language was used during the time period written to truly understand the meaning.

Itโ€™s an intentionally bad translation to manipulate the gentles

Wait so you have no idea what your talking about biblically but your argument comes from a bible verse. Did you think this one through lol?

Yes. The bible lies, everybody knows it lies and yet it's being cited as some sort of authority.

I'm pointing out that it's being wrongly cited, and the response is that it's lying. So why fucking cite it.

I'm not the dillusional superstitious clod trying to dictate behaviour based on some cunt's ancient oppression of the masses.

EDIT: Woo buddy I knew I'd hurt some bootys with that one. God's perfect and unerring word has the ability to be misinterpreted and mistranslated and people get angry when I point it out.

A translation into an archaic form of English is not a mistranslation, smart guy, the way people use words shift over the centuries. In that version, they use 'kill' for unjustified killings and 'slay' for justified ones.

Dude, I'm an atheist and even I know that quoting a mistranslation is a faggoty strawman. That's the equivalent of quoting some shit out of context to make it say what you want it to say instead of what it actually means.

You gonna try and argue that Trump publicly praised white supremacists while you're at it?

Taking of innocence is killing.

You cannot kill what is evil, friend.

Doesn't God say he will send all evil to hell? All we are doing is getting them quicker

The part probably where it says an eye for eye, or your life for my daughterโ€™s innocence

So taking someoneโ€™s eye is death? Itโ€™s funny how Christians claim they donโ€™t use the Bible to justify bad behavior, like the Muslims use the Koran, yet here you are.

I donโ€™t disagree with what the guy did, but the Bible has very clear language about murder. It doesnโ€™t say โ€œthou shall not kill*โ€ (*unless you feel justified).

โ€œI donโ€™t disagree with anything you did, Iโ€™m just using this opportunity to troll people about the Bible.โ€

Isn't funny, the people that dont agree with the bible and your beliefs are all of a sudden bible thumpers? Btw, there's this loophole called repentance, so I can kill a Pedo and ask for forgiveness...there.

Youโ€™re being dumb and should really just stop.
