> It's the Christians that are for it, in spite of that bit in the book that says thou shalt not kill.< When I was rather younger, I heard a learned fellow explain that commandment to the gathered students. The Greek source for the sentence "You should not kill" (I have no love of archaism) is better translated as "You should not [commit] murder". The invocation is not against taking a life. It is against unjustly doing so. Wars, executions, self-defense - no foul. The concept of absolute sanctity of life is not universal to Christianity. The Catholics ran with it however - and here we are.
