Jesus was a hippy socialist...

That's a fact, the neo-con capitalist greedy warmongering religious-right of America are not true Christians, they betray the faith...

Yes. It has always amused me that so many things in the bible like

- thou shallt not kill and
- turn the other cheek

Are so blatantly disregarded by the most faithful of Christians in the US, yet the non-religious types (the hippies and the socialists) do seem to follow what the bible says.

How bloody ironic is that?

Indeed, such irony, and besides, Jesus could be considered a tree hugger too, somewhere he says he loves "all living things", and BTW, trees are alive, so you are a heathen...

to kill a man and to murder a man are the very same thing to the dead man

They die true when one is killed or murdered, but murder is not the
same thing as just killing. The words carry different meanings they
are not the same thing.

Do we need to look at the original texts of the Bible and ignore the modern translations? If so, there are a lot of things that need to change... For example, many of the Bible references that are against "homosexuals" utilize a word that referred specifically to male prostitutes used in religious ceremonies.

Murdering somebody in cold blood can be considered different to killing somebody in self-defence.

Indeed, they mean different things. But the word that ended up in the English translation is "kill." Why is that?
