...you're fucking up my coffee break.
Sitting at the counter at my diner in Tampa, and this moron a couple stools down is going on and on to his hipster buddy about his aversion to capital punishment and how Trump is going to swing all states back to pro-death-penalty status.
Not that this is a bad thing, but his explanation on WHY he is opposed to it just torqued me a bit...
He cited his religious objections as grounds for opposition.
Step away from your KJV, asshat, and find a more accurate translation.
Murder is the term used in the Hebrew is lo tirtsah- definitely murder.
There is no biblical prohibition on killing- as a matter of fact, the Bible, especially the old testament- that thing is just dripping with justified homicide...
So shut up, moron.
Find a different way to justify your precious snowflake feelings that doesn't involve a poor translation of the Pentateuch...
And there is a good chance Trump is going to step on his dick, but refrain from speculating on extreme impossibilities...
The universal death penalty for minor infractions, starting a global thermonuclear war, shit like that...
The stuff keeping 13-year-old progressives (or the progressive parents of impressionable teenagers) up at night...
Gosh, if we only had a system of checks and balances to keep a out of control despot from blowing up the Earth...
Oh, wait a sec...

"The 10 commandments, Dude. Number 6- Thou shalt not kill. That's why it's wrong."Jeebus spare me from ignorant bible thumpers...

Yeah, that's been an ongoing argument for years, at least back to Vietnam that 'I' know of... Joshua and 1st and 2nd Samuel deal a lot with war and death as it applies to war. Seems a lot of people 'ignore' those chapters.
