re: #419 Anymouse 🌹

The evangelical apologetic rationalisation goes like this:

The verse should be translated as “thou shalt not murder.” Killing is a mistranslation.
God commands all sorts of people to be killed in his name (which they claim are such people as gays, feminists, abortion doctors, &c)
It’s not murder if God commands it.
God’s law is above man’s law.
Therefore killing (name group) is not murder.

Nope — Thou shalt not murder. So supports governmental execution.

Interesting. I was taught “Thou shall not kill” as a Catholic school kid.

Those damn Catholics were just too liberal.
