Moses replaced right into a murdering warmonger no depend how the tale would desire to be glossed over. The "thou shalt no longer kill" commandment would have been written after those activities yet shouldn't he have commonplace that it replaced into an act of evil until eventually now it had to be put in writing?

It's a nice quote, but it's just a quite and nothing more. Don't agree?
So what exactly have you done lately about the rebels in Sudan, about the children in Kosovo, about the victims of earthquake in Peru, about child labour in China...?..?
We're living in a blessed ignorance, because worrying about all the horrors that go on in this world would make a man insane in a fortnight...

It's excellent.
The third part presents great difficulties, doesn't it? Especially when your survival and the survival of your family come into play.
Contemplating that "commandment" stirs up some powerful thoughts.

I think it's a little too generous to the perpetrator.

Maybe you should take more notice of " not be a perpetrator"?
