What about the translation that say Do not murder? From what I was taught that was a more accurate translation.

Did God tell you that? Translation? The Ten Commandments are absolute!

God did not speak "Old English". ALL "bibles" have been translated. No God did not tell me that, Brother Leo did. He was a Capuchin brother who spent his entire adult life studying, and translating, scared scripts. He was one of the most "gentle" men I ever met. He was one of my favorite "teachers" when I was young.

613 Mitzvot is the proper term. A mitzvot is a good deed, do not confuse these with commandments.
A more accurate term for the Ten Commandments is "The Ten Utterances."
A good deed is a mitzvah.

Yes, and the 6th commandment prohibits murder, not killing. In fact, in Exodus, we're told that the ancient Israelites were not to be held guilty of shedding blood if they killed an intruder in their home at night. That was a circumstance in which the difference was clearly shown.

We are on hold on this one until Moose comes in. :D

No it isn't.
You're quite ignorant on this subject. I suggest you stick to what you know, whatever that is. It isn't Christianity or Biblical studies. What I've stated about the 6th commandment is indisputable fact.

How can you have any sort of functioning society with individuals like this elected to leadership positions?

"What do you need from society to make better choices?"
Police: 2 Women Gang Raped By Juveniles In Wilmington Park « CBS Philly

Citing just half the quote makes it appear that the Councilwoman was trying to find excuses for the atrocity committed, but I don't think that was her intent at all. No sane person would find ANY excuse for what those scum did acceptable, or even understandable. And people tend to blurt out some pretty stupid things when they're shocked, especially people who aren't used to being quoted in the press. There is no more sympathy for the perps in this incident than they deserve, which is none at all. I hope some people with morals turn the scumbags in.

That has what, exactly, to do with anything in this thread?

Exactly about as much as the post I was responding too. That's all.

The post to which you responded was a comment on your previous post, which makes it relevant. Your response had nothing to do with anything said by anyone in this thread, beyond "whatever". Whether anyone would "make it through a real hunker" [or even want to] is totally irrelevant to this thread.
