Colibri, got a minute please...

Whether or not to move a thread on religious issues to GD is a judgement call. In general, I prefer to try to keep threads in GQ if it seems reasonable to do so. In this case, a number of the earlier posts, including some of your own, cited specific Biblical verses relevant to the issue. This is perfectly in keeping with GQ.

However, some posters, including yourself, posted things that were certainly not appropriate to GQ. Your later posts were closer to witnessing than to GQ answers, as the exchange below indicates.

@Morgenstern

The simple answer is found in Commandment 6, 7 and 10.

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not covet (- thy neighbor’s wife’s ass -)

@Colibri

As we have seen, those don’t actually answer the question at all, since they don’t preclude the exceptions that have been cited.

@Morgenstern

Those rules were burned in stone by God. Perhaps there’s a reason they were burned in stone instead of God relying on his Earthy servant’s interpretations of his word.

This being GQ, unless you can produce some archaeological evidence supporting this statement, it has no bearing on the discussion. If you want to witness about your religious beliefs, take it to Great Debates.

I would prefer not to be forced to move a thread just because posters show blatant disregard for GQ standards and try to force the issue.

In any case, some of the notes were for snark directed at other posters rather than related to the suitability of the question for GQ.
