Me:
Is killing animals wrong?
God:
The Ten Commandments say, "Thou shalt not kill.

Wrong. In Hebrew there were seperate words for "murder" and "kill". To them the distinction was important. The actual translation should be murder, not kill. ;)

Far as I know, the original language was Aramaic, and it read, "Thou shalt not do murder."

No, not Aramaic. Not the Ten Commandments. Very few passages of the Bible were written in Aramaic; most were written in Hebrew. You translation is correct, but it was not originally written in Aramaic.

EDIT: Did a search on Wiki and came up with this.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Aramaic occurs in four discrete places in the Hebrew Bible:

Ezra 4:8–6:18 and 7:12–26 — quotations of documents from the 5th century BCE concerning the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem.
Daniel 2:4b–7:28 — five tales about Daniel and his colleagues, and an apocalyptic vision.
Jeremiah 10:11 — a single sentence in the middle of a Hebrew text denouncing idolatry.
Genesis 31:47 — translation of a Hebrew place-name.

[edit] Other occurrences, according to some scholars
Genesis 15:1 — the word במחזה (ba-maħaze, "in a vision"). According to the Zohar (I:88b), this word is Aramaic, as the usual Hebrew word would be במראה (ba-mar’e).
Numbers 23:10 — the word רבע (rôḇa‘, usually translated as "stock" or "fourth part"). Rabbi J.H. Hertz, in his commentary on this verse, cites an unnamed scholar's claim that this is an Aramaic word meaning "dust."
Job 36:2a — Rashi, in his commentary on this verse, states that this phrase is in Aramaic.

I believe that is accurate.

I vote this thread gets moved to the backroom and never spoken of again.
