Ever heard that boring statement 'Thou shall not kill' being used to shutpeopleup.
Well I find this statement quite fascinating because it has been used as a stick to attack many cultures and religions. we have heard of the so called arguments about religions breeding violence and being the source of all wars and conflicts. then we hear about the attack onMuslimsand Jews on how they slaughter cows and sheeps.
I personally think killing isn't quite what everyone perceives it to be. For man to survive he has to kill indirectly or directly and the day man stops killing will be the day man stops living. Think about it we eat meat -we kill cows, pigs, chickens, monkeys, cockroaches etc. We fall sick we take medicine to kill germs.
Nowadaysdays we have so called 'modern thinkers' who go about saying they don't like killing any animals hence have turned vegetarians P McCartney and his Brigade. Did they ever wonder that, to eat vegetables you have to kill trees? I mean if you love life and are compassionate to living thingswhy not be universally compassionate?
As for the killings of certain hard core dangerous to society crimminals. I personally believe that death sentence ought to be brought back into the justice system. sentences are no longer harsh enough to deter crimminals from commiting serious crimes.
what are your views on killing you peaceful lot
Used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
