One really interesting bit to the original question is, "Did God say that?"
In college a friend made an interesting discovery in her Ancient Greek class. They used the Bible as thier translation medium at the time (Greek on the left, English on the right).
The Greek text used the words most literally translated as "Thou shalt not murder" (apparently, in Greek there is a word better suited to Murder than Kill...) but the translation we all came to read was "Thou shalt not kill".
Puts a different twist on it, eh?
