It amazes me how people will continue to follow murder-based cults, even after so long a struggle to get rid of their influence. When they make laws they have done so in accordance with a murder-based belief system which, according to them, has divine authority and under which many innocent people are murdered by the most horrific means possible. Perhaps temporarily they will come up with alternative doctrines to ameliorate the assault against their horror-show mind-set. But how can we believe that given half a chance they won't surge back into the lawmaking process, enacting murderous statutes for so many? Proclaiming as certainty the future wholesale murder of anyone not agreeing with their dogma? Because it's still there and they will not repudiate it and anyone can read it for themselves. Simply because they focus on a different page or overlook a tenet "out of step" with "modern sensibilities" does not mean that reprehensible pages and/or tenets have ceased to exist.
Like the tide against a castle wall, regardless of decades or even centuries taken to construct it, given the slightest chance they will be used to make laws again. No-one accepting murder as the basis for an ordered society (and if they will not repudiate murder-based source material it's available for anyone to resuscitate at any time) can ever negotiate for peace in good faith. The destruction is far more rapid that the construction and once destroyed the edifice is gone.
The murder principle is not always concealed among heretics. And similarly it may be advocated in contradiction of the sources for any creed. How can we decide whether murder is truly foundational or a promised future outcome? To me this is a non-question. The sources are available. Read them. That is why it's never necessary for me to express an opinion because I can read the stuff for myself and then compare the words and actions of negotiating parties with what I've read. It's a good policy for anyone not wishing to be surprised – but of course some people like surprises.
