14. Pork Rinds for Allah:

Words are a powerful thing…

You wrote “And he used that position to kill the men we are remembering today.”

WRONG (respectfully)

It should read “And he used that position to MURDER the men and WOMEN we are remembering today.
/////
This is correct. Christian bible typically mistranslates the 6th commandment as “thou shalt not kill”. Rather the commandment is “thou shalt not murder.”
Big difference.
Rather like distorting the 7th commandment “thou shalt not commit adultery” to mean “thou shalt not have sex.”
