Its a mistranslation from back in the day.
The bible originally said "thou shall not murder" over the years it was mistranslated to "thou shall not kill."
Quite correct. But it's amazing that the religious freaks who cling to the Bible as being true are so quick to ignore all the things that contradict each other. The commandment is indeed "Thou shall not murder", but the Bible then goes on to mention at least 100 different offenses for which you should be murdered by your fellow man.
Slaughter a calf wrong = get killed.
Eat the wrong foods = get killed
Worship the wrong way = get killed
Take a hit on 17 in blackjack = get killed
Yell "You da man" at golf tournaments = get killed
Work on the Sabbath = get killed
Hell, by some interpretations of the more extreme passages, it's a sin NOT to kill someone who has sinned. Stick that in your irony hookah and smoke it. Anyone who wants to quote the bible as guidance on how things are really done in the world should be required to find the passage where God suggests that pedophile priests should molest children and that the church must protect them so that they can go on to molest others.
