For Christianity it was Roman Empire and keeping slaves pacified. Then they pivoted to medieval kings and keeping serfs pacified.
For Microsoft it was producing DOS for IBM.

Yeah but you have to remember the length of the enterprise sales cycle, and factor in at least 200 years of torture, oppression and martyrdom at the hands of the big corporation before you finally convince their CEO to buy in. Once he does, it's suddenly death threats all around for those who don't adopt your product, so if you make it that far, you're golden.

Common misconception, thanks to the all-too pervasive influence of the horribly inaccurate King James translation: the word used in Hebrew does not actually mean "kill". It's more akin to "thou shalt not commit murder" or "thou shalt not kill without justification". Of course, there's a whole new can of worms opened up there to debate whether any killing is justified or not. The Bible itself gives a number examples of when killing could be lawful - capital punishment, war etc - and you'll find much more to read in both Jewish and Christian philosophical traditions. A superficial dismissal based on perceived hypocrisy, however, doesn't stand up to even the most cursory examination.

A common misconception is that the commandments given to Moses were to apply to gentiles.
That is not the case as can be seen from the old testament in general and from the Pentateuch in particular.

#9This kind of thing is clever, but really gross (and I’m not even a Christian anymore). Someone needs to revisit the story of Table-Flippin’ Whip-Wieldin’ Jesus because the lesson sure didn’t take the first time.
