But the Commandments didn't say anything about taking revenge on the actions of others. The Commandments constrained them a bit (by saying that you could not kill or steal from neighbors), but there was nothing in there about hitting back at aggressors.

Don't blame the actions of the followers on the source material. Most Microsoft operating systems are total, utter crap. But does that mean that the memory/storage methodology of computing is inherently flawed as a concept? Of course not!

I am pretty much strongly against nearly all current organized religions. I am not, however, against the concept of religion or the existence of religious belief. I have no beef with Christians or Hebrews or Muslims, but I am distrustful of the small organizations which has power over some subsets of these groups (like the Catholic Church, though do not take that as meaning that I doubt or denigrate the beliefs of Catholics).

Personally, I'm an Agnostic. I have no clue why people think I'm strange when I say that, especially since there is no ironclad evidence out there to either prove or disprove the existence of deities or magic or supernatural phenomena.
