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.
You went out of your way to try and criticize the bible. Literally that man just mentioned the Lord, and you felt the need to point out the bible is dumb... by responding with a dumb argument that even a staunch atheist would agree doesn't hold up.

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.
If the word of god is perfect and infallible then he should protect it from such errors that cause problems like this. This is after all his perfect divine word. There should be no room for misinterpretation.
What part of the English fucking language changed over centuries of use do you not understand? A translation of God's Word into common English 500 years ago will obviously read a bit differently than a translation of God's Word into the common English of today. Are you being deliberately obtuse, or do you just have extra chromosomes?
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?
Exodus 20.13, KJV : Thou shalt not kill.
Shit, I'm an atheist and I know that.
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.

It’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.

Ok, let's recap on the chain of events here.
Someone quotes the shitty bible.
Someone else tells them they're wrong.
I point out the actual fucking verse in the shitty fucking bible that they quoted.
You ask me if I thought my response through.
I confirm that I did.
You then lie about me. So this conversation is ended, because you have all the credibility of the shitty bible.
Apologists....
also apologists...
