I read the Torah in the original Hebrew text. (I speak Hebrew) It clearly states "murder." How else could God have ordered the Israelites to attack Canaan?

OK that was a google on my mispelling of '10 comandments'. So ok I'll drop the 'chrstian morality' arguments (though I do find it hard to imagine JC blowing someone away because they were in his house trying to steal his sandals)
Exaggerations are not necessary. Regardless, Jesus quite clearly commanded us to take up the sword. AND, God, several times over, commanded people to kill other people. AND lastly, in the near future God will be sentencing people to Hell (eternal death). Your argument does not hold.
