      • Reads “thou shalt not kill” commandment.

      • Declares holy war on indigenous people.

      This goes beyond irony blindness, this is straight cherry picking for convenience.

        The commandment is actually “you shall not murder”. There’s a distinct difference between killing and murdering; murder can be categorised as only a small subset of killing. I could be misled but I’m under the impression that to old testament era Jews killing a non-jew was never murder.

            1 Samuel 15:2-4

            2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’

        They simply adjust their definition of “people” as needed.

        There might be a certain stigmata about what you said, but I think you nailed it.

          Some would say my statement might… strike a nerve (or two).

        He wasn’t a zombie he was a lynch. An immortal soul bound to a mortal body.

        I challenge any Christian to come up with a better description.

          Lich.

          A lynch would be something a bit… different. A lot of wingnuts would be into that, too, mind you.

      They’re not immune to it. They’re just irony deficient. Their body can’t process it. It goes into violent spasms.
