A "Man of God"? Aren't all who believe "Men of God"? The commandment you
are quoting is being proof-texted. The directive was against murder.

Hi Mike,
The real problem is not even the religions, its the folks wielding
it. They scare me. I scare them.I am sorry about your pastor, he
certainly had a right to talk about the war, and I would think a Man of
God would be against war - I really thought that commandment said - Thou
shalt not kill. I tend to associate war with killing - but ya know I
have been known to be wrong ;-)
