Hmm. The world "kill", given that its use is **entirely** modern, the 
original text was Hebrew and ****they**** use a completely different 
word, just like we do, for kill vs. murder? I mean, that would kind of 
matter wouldn't it, that kill and murder, at least technically, mean 
different things, and that the *oldest* version of the text uses the 
world for murder, not the generic "kill" that most Christians insist was 
meant? But, that opens a whole can of worms, because it becomes a bit 
problematic how you determine who legitimately gets to define the 
difference, and how, if God is the one defining the difference, you can 
*prove* that God actually told them, instead of them just claiming he 
did, even if they perform some silly card trick to try to prove it.
