That's why there are multiple interpretations.  There is obviously 
some room for going either way, in which I have chosen the path that 
is opposite of yours, and insinuates that sacrifice was OK in certain 
situations.  In wikipedia terms, we must acknowledge both sides...

The bible is just a book.  And Linux is just an Operating System.  So 
chill out buddy and let's be friends :-)  On a similar note, have you 
read all the source code for the Linux kernel?  I have read vast parts 
of the bible, so I encourage you to recheck your statements that us 
"non-religious" people are uninformed.  I got very tired when reading 
Numbers.  Excuse me, but I don't understand why saying "old testament" 
is offensive.  When I was young and studied readings from the bible in 
church, they never referred to it in another way other than the "old 
testament".  If there is something I do not know, or society changed 
during the last 20 years, please inform me about my offensiveness 
off-list so that I may be brought up to speed.  I really don't 
understand why splitting the bible into two forms as old and new would 
be offensive...
