What is really meant by that?
Does this imply that to squash a bug is no different than to squash a human being?
If it is only referencing human beings, then we have two versions of "killing", one for bugs and for human beings.
And after all, don't we "kill" fish and fowl and animals for food?
Then "killing" isn't really what is meant by this commandment, is it?
Would it then refer to "murder"?
But what is murder? Is it only the killing of another human being?
Does that mean we don't murder fish or bugs?
If a government sends a soldier to a war with an order to kill another human being, doesn't that contradict God's commandment? Or can a government decide which kind of killing is okay and which kind isn't?
