Here’s how pliable bible-based “morality” is: she swerved right past “thou shalt not kill” and found a verse to justify killing someone for defying authority.
If your ethics can be weaponized that easily, it’s not morality.

To those invoking Christianity in this current controversy over the shooting in Minnesota, it is important to remember that our God is a God of order. And he requires submission to all legal authorities.
Romans 13: “For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong.”
Biblically, what Renée Good was doing was actually a sin. She was breaking the law. She was defying legal authority that was justly being carried out.
I’m sad about what happened to her. It’s tragic. But as a Christian, I can reflect that this is why Romans 13 wisely tells us to obey the authorities. It is for our safety and good.
Eyyy there it is, the fascist’s call for order. Everything else is chaos and only authoritarians can restore order and peace through violence.
For all non-fascists out there, always remember that fascists love violence and are fucking cowards. I don’t condone it but they’ll run if youscare their fine sensibilities or tell them no.
