The commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' does not say it's O.K. to kill some people and not others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.
No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.
The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.
There's no difference between one's killing and making decisions that will send others to kill. It's exactly the same thing, or even worse.
I have not killed anyone. They will not let me.
I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
Well, if they are trying to kill you, on the whole they're the people you have to kill, aren't they?
I don't believe in killing people. I believe in locking you up for the rest of your life.
I started growing up in a hurry and taking a lot of the philosophy I'd heard from church as a kid a lot more seriously - especially the Ten Commandments - and wondering how 'Thou shalt not kill' could be so absolutely ignored. It took me until I was in my 40s to write what I was thinking as a young soldier.
