Thou Shalt Not Murder!

The story of Phinehas in the Book of Numbers is one of my favorites. God has already issued the commandment against murder. Phinehas murders a man and woman having sex. He drives a spear through both of them impaling them to the ground. He is praised by god. So much for objective morality!
