Your flow of argument and opinion mirrors a christian not a buddhist. A buddhist would never take a life. To have an opinion (tbough not your faith) that one should based on christian doctrine--if that is what I am "hearing"--is completely against buddhism.

I say that because I am a Buddhist. So, going out of my view to see someone agree to take a life even in analogy or sholarly conversation apalles me.
But I never condoned taking a life.

Again, different settings only. Look at the actual teachings of the Torah and the new covenant. They are parallel. As are the general teachings of all abrahamic Faith, forms of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other peaceable faiths.

Stone people to death vs. the first without sin to throw the stone.

I know my religion is correct because my Quran has no error, the biography of my prophet is amazing, the moral teaching of my religion is wonderful, the scientific content of its scriptural texts, the miracles, prophesies, historical evidences, and so on.
Then surely you must know that God doesn't want is to murder anyone. Especially not the innocent or ignorant. Right?

Peace

Id have to look through the threads. Your argument on christianity implied you did. But its water under the bridge nkw.

Just wish others can see likewise. We (humanity) can settle disagreements by mutual talk. Ego and power. Politics.

Its late, though. Im heading out soon before i start typing gibberish
