And one of them is simply "you shall not murder", but... but... what did god do with all the plagues he sent down on Egypt, particularly the one with all the firstborns, if not murdering?

What sort of moral authority does such a being have to tell his "children" not to murder when that's exactly what he did a couple of pages back?!

"Thou shall not kill" is one of the laws; it's not one of the Ten Commandments.  It was never written on the stone tablets.
