You also kill dogs, I think that was a factor. Also I was like 6, not exactly old enough to grasp the historical context or moral ambiguity of murdering murderers. But yeah, “love the sinner, hate the sin” is a major tenet of Christianity, even if seemingly no one practices it.
In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.
The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.
A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.
Not entirely misguided, just more evangelical. If murder is killing a way your tribe does not allow, but your tribe does not allow any killings (pacifism), you get thou shalt not kill.
My Christian parents would ground me for an entire summer for watching the Simpsons.
But if they wanna watch Oz in front of me where a prisoner rapes another prisoner and then hangs himself, then somehow that’s not as bad as the Simpsons?
As a child I was allowed to play Doom but not Wolfenstein for this exact reason.
Wait in wolfenstein you kill nazi , so its OK to kill demon but not Nazi?_?
Checks out, what with the current state of the Christian-right in the US.

They were just following orders! You know, sit, shake, kill the Jews…
If you’re a Christian, yes. Not killing people is supposed to be like their number one rule.
No, killing is fine. It’s murder that’s not ok
