jobee Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Eh? So you concede that they know more about 'real life' than you, or me for that matter. Frankly, I view priests like social workers and police officers - I'm extremely glad that they do the stuff I don't want to have to. They deserve some respect. QUOTE I concede they should not be shooting people on battle fields. Their famous sixth tells them that. Indeed, they should not be 'volunteering' to join the armed forces at all.

f0rd Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yes, two were on the same battle field shooting people. I wondered then, what happened to 'thou shall not kill'. It's actually thou shall not murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobee Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 It's actually thou shall not murder. Yes there are 3 versions you have quoted the jewish one. The two at war with me came under 'thou shall not kill' one. BUT even the original jewish was-- 'thou shall not kill' A. The commandment "thou shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original text you know was in Hebrew? So... it's the original version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 How do we know this an exhaustive list of candidates that were Christians? We know it isn't. The list is fairly conclusive proof that people in this country, even if they are Christians themselves, do not want to elect a politician purely on the basis that they are committed Christians. We have no idea how many people voted for a particular candidate of, say, the Labour party, because that candidate was enthusiastically religious and the others were not. There might also be some people who did not vote for the same hypothetical Labour candidate for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobee Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Some proof that people prefer to elect politicians to political office. No proof at all about what people think of religion, except that they know the difference between it and politics. I said some, I did not say conclusive.
