i love how people will justify this and say "blah blah blah a more correct translation is thou shall not murder"
it would still be the same question though, because murder still doesnt mean kill someone that you dont like. it means one human killing another human

1. Burning at the stake has not only been employed by Christians. Early Christians were burned at the stake by the Romans.
2. The last time a heretic, witch, or nonbeliever was burned at the stake was almost three hundred years ago.
3. To answer your question, no. Not all Christians participated in burning people at the stake; as a matter of fact, many protested against it, and soon joined the other heretics.
Nice try though.

Thaw???? Well the "thaw" was after the "Thummer" and before the Thinter. Man burned witches not God.

First of all, you spelled "thou" wrong. If you want to be taken seriously in intelligent religious debate, you'd better brush up on your spelling and grammar. (I'm not trying to be mean, just giving you a little advice) And yes, the church as an establishment has been responsible for some horrible things in the past. Man has always killed for his god which he believes gives him power. There are very few truly peaceful religions that have ever existed, but those that are, I respect greatly. For farther clarification: I personally do not practice any one particular religion, but I do not condemn those simply for choosing a different path then myself.

Actually I like the "thaw" better than "thou".
Maybe we should say "Frostbite shall not kill..."?
hehehe

The witches thing was a commandment from the old testament. Christians are not to murder anyone.

God gave us the Ten Comandements we did not write them ourselves so why would we think we had the right to change them?

Is this meant as a question or an insult?
If your not a christian, I suggest you no worry about it. If you are a christian, you should be asking your follow christians instead of strangers on the internet.

Mind your own business and leave the christians alone.
