... IMHO even though all sin is the same, murder is one of the worst...

Ah, an occasional misplaced quote. Murder sucks, yes. We all get that. Pretty standard non-fundamentalist Christian fare. As an early quote, I'll let it slide.
I know whats fundie about this. While most Christians can see the difference between a white lie and theft fundamentalists have narrowed every sin to one violation of equal weight.
Therefore to them, and this is dangerous logic indeed, the candy-bar they stole as a child is an equal sin to the wanton murder they committed last week. To them the worst crime can be equated, in their Gods eyes with the slightest mistep, or those little candy thefts most of us are guilty of. While exaggerating small "sins" to extremes the fundie mind has also been trained to accept murder as no worse than paltry theft.
This can be justified with Biblical passages but only fundies are crazy enough to foster this ideology.
What if it's killing disobedient children, witches, adulterers, homosexuals, women that aren't virgins on their wedding night, and followers of other religions? You know, like your bible commands you to? Then it's ok, right?
Wait, what's that? You don't do that? You don't follow your bible? You don't follow the absolute morality of your own holy book?
And even for other murder, can't you just telepathically ask for forgiveness, using your infinite-use "Get out of Hell Free" card? Then you're all good, right?
Sounds like someone's not getting their morality from their bible...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
