A lot of them do.

I lift my hand to heaven and declare:
As surely as I live forever,
when I sharpen my flashing sword
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
while my sword devours flesh:
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders."

Rejoice, O nations, with his people,
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;
he will take vengeance on his enemies
and make atonement for his land and people.

(Deuteronomy 32:40-43)

Do not allow a sorceress to live.
Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the LORD must be destroyed.

Man's disagreement with man on God. Man commits crimes in God's name.

Show me any religion, based on a one true God that advocates killing someone. Satanism don't count.

Man is the radical in the peace equation not God.



"You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death..."
Exodus 31:14

"And he [Moses] said to them, 'Thus says the Lord God of Israel: "Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbour."' So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. Then Moses said, 'Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that he may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother."
Exodus 32:27-29

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately."
Numbers 31:17-18

"If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and who, when they have chastened him, will not heed them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city, and they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear."
Deuteronomy 21:18-21

"[The Lord says:] 'Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.' "
1 Samuel 15:3

"(...) and the Lord said to him, 'Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.' To the others He said in my hearing, 'Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly, slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary.' So they began with the elders who were before the temple."
Ezekiel 9:4-7

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."
Jesus in Matthew 10:34

New International Version.

>not sure how they justify the word "sorceress" when it should be "poisoner" . . .

New International Version: Do not allow a sorceress to live.
New American Standard Bible: You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
New Living Translation (NLT): A sorceress must not be allowed to live.
King James Version (KJV): Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
New King James Version (NKJV): You shall not permit a sorceress to live.
New International Version: Do not allow a sorceress to live.

Scariest mistranslation I've seen was evidence that, in a very early version of the new testament, "almah" was variously translated as "young woman" and "virgin."

Not to get into a religious debate, as I am not qualified, but I think in contect, this refers to what happens to those who live outside of God's law.
I have to take it simple...like the 10 commandments. Obey those, everybody lives, nobody gets hurt. Those were God's first draft of rules to conduct ourselves by.
All I can fall back on is that when I pretend to be a nice guy and ask God how to live, I walk around pretty happy and tolerant of other people. When I practise my individuality and let my ego kick in (you know that little voice that tells you: I'm better than everybody else, I shouldn't have to wait in this line like the rest of the cattle) thats when I find myself scrapping with everyone.

Man you guys are quick with the Bible quotes. I'm afraid I cannot explain them or want to. I cannot believe that God wants anything other than for us to live by his word and the end result of that would be peace.
I've never made any claims to be able to understand scripture. But killing in God's name is just wrong.
