Yeah, but "a right to X" means "You are allowed to decide whether you do X or not, and this decision must be respected by others". It doesn't mean "You must always decide to do X". For example: The right to free speech doesn't mean you must always keep speaking and saying things others might not like. It means "You can decide to say things others…

You’re not being downvoted because you’re wrong about the Old Testament—it really does contain many gruesome episodes of vengeance and capital punishment.

The Catholics have lost their way since the crusades. Why even be a Catholic and not just a protestant in 2026? It wouldn't surprise me to see "pope" Leo in a rainbow outfit soon.

It's you shall not murder and if you were devout you're know that too Look in the mirror before you say silly things like that, you are the one who needs to hear them.

while in the US or in Japan it's a disposable right like another that can be given away or lost due to your actions like in a breach of contract ???

You don't think that protestants also thought they were also going back to a purer form of Christianity during the reformation?
-
I don't speak Hebrew, sadly. The Greek word does usually mean murder, yes. Though you can also interprete it as kill.

Know what the American slang word for Cockneys is? There isn’t one, because who gives a shit about Cockneys? 😆
