Yeah, Carol, the explosion in Bali that killed the Australian tourists (and others) is the one I'm referring to. I've read some pretty odd stuff about it here and there, but I haven't come to any final conclusions about it. It may have been a quite small mini-nuclear weapon (obviously much smaller than the A-bombs used in 1945). Such things have become more and more refined in the last few decades.

Wolfgang - Yeah, "thou shalt not kill" was actually "thou shalt not murder", as you say. The Isrealites were clearly under the impression that killing anyone besides an Israelite was not murder! One can see this easily from their genocidal activities against various other tribes of people upon their arrival in "the promised land".

This strikes me as one of the most self-serving pieces of religious hypocrisy and moral claptrap I've ever heard of in my life. They massacred whole cities full of other people, right down to the women and children...just to take their land.

That's not just murder, it's mass murder.
