If this was the case then Man would not be the master of the land and creatures of the earth as God granted Man to be as you can "kill" animals and plants. "Thou shalt not commit murder" is more on point, as murder implies unethical behavior. In fact, shortly after the ten commandments were presented to the Jews by God via Moses they were to "put to the sword the unfaithful" who rebelled during The Exodus and worshipped The Golden Cafe. So "killing" isn't the same as "murder." In the Book of Eli, Denzel plays a man faithful to God beset by unfaithful who actively attempt to murder him and he kills them in self-defense. Does Eli go out of his way to murder people? Also, it's a movie and if Eli just let himself be killed/murdered then there would be no movie. “Thou shalt not kill” is a common misunderstanding.

Im no bible scholar but Im pretty sure that features at least once in there.

I know it's still probably impossible but in the movie Eli(Washington) tells Kunis' character that Bibles were sought out and burned. I guess I'm just a fan of post-apocalyptic movies in general even rehashed ones. Add in the gorgeous Milla Kunis and it's win win. Throughout the whole movie I kept imagining a life meter in the bottom left. The scenery in that movie was eerily similiar to the Fallout 3 landscape.
