Hmmmmm. That changes the narrative some, but not the conclusion. I did not realize that the original was 'do not murder'.

I knew, of course, of the crimes punishable by death in the bible. I do acknowledge that a Society has the right to legislate what ever prohibitions it deems fit for itself.

In matters like this I try not to rely on the bible as a single source. Josephus touched on the execution of the man Jesus Christ.

Entirely aside: I'm always really glad to see you, my friend.
