Theologians have long contested this. Many claim that the original Hebrew could be translated as "Thou shalt not kill" or as "Thou shalt not murder," and often substitute the later in modern translations. This makes sense, seeing as even the ancients saw that it would be a crime to kill a man in cold-blood, but self-defense was often permissible.

The 10 Commandments are a far cry from any hate crimes. They don't discriminate unless one thinks "no other gods before me" is the source of claim, in which there is a slight case, but not really.
I do know my facts you read the book and see for yourself!Anywho why is having no Gods before me a issue with you?jm 😕

Considering her comments about other things, I'd say its probably more shock value than fact.
I like the Commandments. Take a day off during the week, respect your parents, don't kill, don't covet, don't steal, don't bear false witness, etc. Makes sense to me.
