'Thou shalt not kill'
It's taken from the Bible, but this is echoed in many different ways through many different religions.
I have asked why it still happens (in God's name) before, and I was basically told that it's ok to kill someone if it is for the protection of self.
For me, that means that I then have the freedom to break ANOTHER Christian commandment and judge for myself who is right and who is wrong.
When I commit this act of killing another, it seems to me that not only have I judged, I have also decided not to love my neighbor.
Not just Christians, but so far I'm not clued up enough to be able to apply this across the board. I only know that it does apply, rather than the words I need to explain so.
By the way, I'm not Christian, but I just use the Christian words that are the ones I know. Not picking on any faith in particular.
My own idea.
Take no life. Period
