What gregoree really believes when it comes to murder and killing.

"Thou shalt not kill" is actually a misquote. The commandment isn't against killing; it's against murder.

Just as in English, the Hebrew language has two different words; and the word murder is what is described in the commandment, not killing.

It should be fairly evident to people that God is not proscribing all killing because part of the very Mosaic law that God gave capitol punishment as an appropriate punishment for quite a number of crimes.

You can't say, I forbid you to kill, and by the way, kill. That would be an obvious contradiction, and that is obviously not what God has in mind.

No, the prohibition is against murder, which is an inappropriate kind of killing.

And then God talks about certain circumstances when killing is legitimate and other circumstances when it is not legitimate.

Taking a human life without proper justification is murder and is wrong.

But if the circumstance changes and there is appropriate justification, then arguably this is a morally relevant factor that changes the moral nature of the act of taking a life.

Therefore, you would be justified in taking his life in self-defense. When the circumstance changes in a morally relevant way, the application of the moral rule changes."

He used this to defend Moses at Peor who killed everyone except underage girls who were then traded into sexual slavery.

You've been defending Pederasty for months and have repeatedly affirmed your support of sex between adolescent boys and grown men for THAT is what Pederasty means. You want quotes? OK.

"I DO support the RIGHT to LEGAL sexual deviance."

"I said I had no objection to YOUR pederasty."
Message 26607214

"I said very clearly that I support the right to all sexual activity of any gender provided it is legal and voluntary."
Message 26607710

On your namesake being a Pederast:
"Some say he had a lover, some say he did not. History does not know and I don't care one whit one way or another! ... You must know that same sex love was considered very moral in those times! Anybody who takes any Greek name as a pseudonym runs the chance that the name once belonged to someone with quite different standards of love! That doesn't bother me."

"You deliberately tried to pass then forward as mine!!"

You're a complete tool. I told you it was an oversight and nothing more. I don't need to misrepresent your position, (as you do mine) your support for Pederasts and other sexual deviants is overt and a matter of public record.

"I asked you nicely to state your views."

LOL! You are so nice. I bet no one has ever told you that before, but I can really see it. NOT! Forgive me for not falling for your phony act.
