Reply #175: That's right - taking of another human life is murder - killing someone [View All]

[merh]

is murder - thou shalt not murder is correct. That means the state should not be allowed to murder one of its citizens.

Funny how people twist the bible as they need. On one hand, they hold everyone to the strict interpretations that have been promoted for years, gays are evil and an "abomination". But on the other hand, when the definition is too sticky for their warped needs and doesn't promote the hate and vengeance they believe it should, they search for the proper Hebrew definition of the passage and flaunt it. If you like the Hebrew definition of that passage "thou shalt not murder", then go have fun studying the literal interpretation of the passages that allegedly slam gays, you will find that they did not slam gays, but the prostitution in the temple and other activities of the time.

BTW - Jesus' crucification was a state sanctioned killing, how do you feel about that?
