Deuteronomy, chapter 5 verse 17, Thou shalt not kill <---> (and a favorite on this forum) Exodus chapter 22 verse 18, Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
And, please, correct me if I am wrong,
"Thou shalt not kill" essentially tells us not to do unjust murder. "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" implies that the subject has horrifically sinned and thus the killing is justified.

This is a contradiction because killing is taking someones life and if you take a witch her/his life you kill him/her. There are dozens of those all over the Bible. This is what you get with a book that has been rewritten numerous times and that has been used as a tool for oppression by dictators.
Of course animals don't talk like humans do, they don't have the ability (with the exception maybe of parrots and like but they only imitate). The Bible is never meant to be taken literally. Furthermore, it's a book filled with metaphors and contradictions.
Can you show me in the Bible where it says that we shouldn't take it literally?

and it says a donkey can talk - see Balaam's ass* -
Nu:22:28: And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
The message here, amongst others, is that God can do anything but that is no reason to doubt His Word - in fact it is the reverse - it is the very reason that it is obvious that He exists and is able to perform wonders and thus worthy of our constant praise!
*notice the accuracy of the description - the ass is female! Now normally the assumption is that it would be male. This detail shows that it is true.
What is it with you Christians and using bible quotes? Can't you think for yourself? You are all nothing but puppets.
