......... and now one must ask, which version of the Bible?
Did they use the King James (?) Several Bibles preceded the King James Version, including the Tyndale Bible (1526), Coverdale Bible (1535), the Matthew Bible (1537), the Great Bible (1539), the Geneva Bible (1560), Bishops' Bible (1568).
Religion doesn't excuse violence it promotes and enthuses about violence. Honesty in reporting should be a requirement. Three right wing religious fascist governments swapping bombs, can't tell them apart
Religion is the foundation of autocracy. It justifies any and every egregious act by blaming or crediting an irrefutable source of authority. That authority was invented by people for their own ends. Nothing like making up your own rules to justify crushing everyone else.
I've had a lot of Christians tell me that "shall not kill" is not in the Bible -- only, "shall not murder", and since they're not subject to the jurisdiction that outlaws killing people from other countries, they're fine doing so.
I mean it's where you're supposed to get slaves, so....
I don't know if you missed the memo but your government is backed by "Christian" fundamentalists that would like nothing more than to bring about "the end times"
People around the world need to realize that putting the term “Holy” in front of “War”, does not make it any more humane or less sinful. War, whether a Holy War or not, cause the death of innocent civilians, in every case. If you don’t realize that, you are defying your religion & will be judged.

Evangelicals who are no different than Islamic extremists
The teachings of Jesus in scripture is overlooked to be angry about mindless nonsense like "define what is a man and a women", all unrelated to faith

So clearly us humans just need to keep murdering each other until we reach agreement on which god is the true god.
I am betting on Ganesh, because, hey, cool elephant.
You’re preaching to the choir here !
But maybe let's just stop bombing and invading sovereign countries regardless of what is written in a book.

(Organized) religion is evil.
