does "thou shall not kill" now apply to only innocent lives - does your holier than thou morality not understand that life is life - we godless ones understand that nature demonstrates that the struggle for life pervades all living creatures and we humans have a choice - is your choice to determine those who deserve to live and those who deserve to die - because you are christian are you able to make that determination

[Illbay]

The phrase translated in most Bibles as "thou shalt not kill" is more properly rendered "thou shalt not murder."

God specifically told Noah, that it was His law that a man who takes a life, by man his life shall be taken. That isn't "Mosaic law" but precedes it by a thousand years.

Death for a murderer is ordained by God Himself.

is your choice to determine those who deserve to live and those who deserve to die

Better our choice than Saddam's, bin Laden's, Kim Jong Il's etc. I don't believe there is any moral equivalence at all. Neither do you. Just ask yourself, "If I had to suffer a civilian in an invaded land, would I rather be an innocent civilian in a nation being overrun by Saddam's Fedayeen, or an innocent civilian in a nation being overrun by Bush's Marines?"

You decision--if you are at all rational and sentient--will tell you who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.
