I do not believe in God, and find it very difficult to take the pronouncements of anyone who commands, “thou shalt not kill”

The actual wording is "thou shalt not murder." The other is a commonly corrupted translation. There is plenty of good society and God sanctioned killing. Killing a maniac who is stabbing children on a sidewalk is a good thing. And it's not murder.

Words have meaning. Murder is not the same as kill. Marshal is not martial. Before you go writing major sermons for the unwashed, work on your basic knowledge.

Well, thanks for the advice. I’m sorry I cannot return the favor, as I do not tell other people what to do.

But I will pray for you. Considering how evil I am, and my position on God, that should really worry you.

Hank
