Well, that it was never written on stone tablets may be actually true.
But it is one of the ten commandments from the bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou_shalt_not_kill:
Quote:Thou shalt not kill (LXX; οὐ φονεύσεις), You shall not murder (Hebrew לֹא תִּרְצָח lo tirṣaḥ) or You shall not kill (KJV), is a moral imperative included as one of the Ten Commandments in the Torah,[1] specifically Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17.
The imperative is against unlawful killing resulting in bloodguilt.[2] The Hebrew Bible contains numerous prohibitions against unlawful killing, but also allows for justified killing in the context of warfare, capital punishment, and self-defense.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of the tale...?
Here, try this site, it has several versions of the same tale: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...xodus%2020
The main problem with discussing religion of forums is that people don't have a clue about what the ethnocentriv Middle Eastern religious fairy tales really say. The conventional list of items known as the Ten Commandments are laws; they are not the actual Ten Commandments that were written on the stone tablets that Moses broke and rewrote. Those Ten Commandments are found in Exodus chapter 34 and the First Commandment tells them to destroy other people's religious artifacts and to steal their land. None of those commandments prohibit slaughtering other people.
You don't have to debate the issue because you can read it for yourself. Simply start reading from Exodus chapter 20 through Exodus chapter 34. Make notes about the stuff you read in each chapter. You will get to Exodus chapter 31:18 before you read about anything that was written on stone tables.
The lie about the list of items in Exodus chapter 20 being the Ten Commandments is simply to fool dummies. Not too many people would get enthused about the real BS Ten Commandments in Exodus chapter 34 because they are so ethnocentric and tell the Jews to screw everyone and to stteal their land in the First Commandment.
So read it for yourself, take notes about what you read, and go from there. And when you get to Exodus 34:28 where it says that the preceeding verbiage is the Ten Commandments that Moses wrote on the stone tablets you can say that it's BS.
