This goes beyond irony blindness, this is straight cherry picking for convenience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (4 children) The commandment is actually "you shall not murder". There's a distinct difference between killing and murdering; murder can be categorised as only a small subset of killing. I could be misled but I'm under the impression that to old testament era Jews killing a non-jew was never murder. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] prole@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago That kind of makes it worse... permalink fedilink source parent [–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) What a loving religion. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] butt_mountain_69420@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago 1 Samuel 15:2-4 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them.
