Fionn, "Thou shalt not kill" is a mis-translation. The correct phrase is "Thou shalt not do murder."
Murder was killing one of your own clan or tribe. The proscription did not apply to those outside the tribe.
There are numerous places in the Bible where God commanded the Israelites to kill their enemies.
So if "Thou shalt not kill" is the correct translation, then God is inconsistant.
This is not a good trait in a Diety.
I believe Darrow was dead by that time.
