One note on a common misconception: "Thou shalt not kill" in
modern english is "You shall not murder."  It is a prohibition
against murder, not all killing.  For references see the
Oxford English Dictionary entry on "kill" which explicitly
quotes the King James Version of the commandment as an example
of the use of "kill" with the meaning of "murder."
Language does change, please don't use the King James language
to justify your thinking.
