This is taken from the Bible in the "ten commandments" aka the Ten Sayings. Briefly, there are three ways to kill:
(1) Actually killing the body
(2) Taking away someone's income, or
(3) Humiliating or embarrassing a person.
It is the sixth of the "Ten Commandments" which means it corresponds to the 1st one. (The first five are between man and God; the next five are between man and man). What's the relationship between "thou shalt not kill" and "believing in One God"? If you believe that this God created people in His likeness, in His Holy Image (see divestment series for all the "likenesses") then you would not/ could not kill someone in cold blood no matter how angry you dare to be at them.
We can delve deeper but as I mentioned earlier, my cut off is Tuesday night. Then I am DONE with blogging. So, Im keeping this short.
