I was under the impression you were wondering whether I thought the colonial implementations of the 10 commandments should be applied today. If you don't understand the metaphor, or its application, there isn't much point in proceeding. As to misquoting the Ten Commandments, I paraphrased from memory to answer your question. The only substantive distinction you made was the difference between "kill" and "murder." The reason for that substitution is so obvious it shouldn't require further discussion.

There are two threads that we have been discussing. One is what is objectionable about Moore's actions. That started because you posted a vanity of your letter to the AG of Alabama. You nagged a number of posters here to come up with specific objections I did and you wrote that you'd respond. You have made piecemeal responses to two of the the six I posted.

The other thread is whether you want the laws which you have been quoting from 1759 to be revived. You seem to think they are great. Does that mean you think they should be in force today? Why or why not?

While I'm waiting for your other responses we can look at one that you have given: The only substantive distinction you made was the difference between "kill" and "murder." The reason for that substitution is so obvious it shouldn't require further discussion.

Not so obvious. Please explain why you are asking if folks object to a different list then Moore installed. Is it because you believe that Moore wrote down the wrong list? Do you think the Bible is incorrect for banning killing and should only ban murder? Do you have a better understanding of this issue then Moore?
