Biblical law? Sorry, you live in the wrong country.

You forgot about something the bible also teaches about.

Greed.

Let me know when you sort out how it works into the equation.

I would not dismiss the laws of God, as they are the original basis for many of our laws, in this country. Without the word of god, how would we decide what is right and wrong. Unfortuanately, over the ages mankind has perverted those ideas to the point where today, evil is seen as good, and vise versa, just as the bible predicted would happen in the end times.
And even the so called authorities, who are supposed to uphold justice, have legalized and protected what god calls obomination, in the interest of political correctness. (a whole other topic, but I digress).
As far as greed is concerned, it seems to me that it is being used as an excuse, to punish a man for destroying his own property. I didn't read where a human was harmed in any way. I don't particularly approve of what he did, but I chose not to judge lest I be judged. Where as some of you seem to have a mob mentality, and would like to stone him.
As I said before if he brought the animals to the pound they would be put to sleep and everything would be fine. And I would think most of you guys have killed a few fish and or animals in your time. I know I have. The difference is that in our free thinking, modern, and perverted world we have mistakenly elevated some animals to the level of mankind. In fact above some of mankind. I read every day about killings around the world, that seem less important than these killings perhaps because the victims are not like us. Human but not american. And that i see as a perversion. I don't expect anyone to agree, I'm not looking for any man's approval, Just stating the facts as I see them.

P.S. I can't find the laws of common sense, and common decency written anywhere. Perhaps each of us as a different set, or we can make them up as we go along.
I seem to remember hearing about them years ago, but they were for people, not animals. As much as you may love you pets, they are still animals, no soul, no rights, and put here for our use and under our dominion, regardless of what PETA says.
You can love em and protect em, but I think you go to far when you punish a man for destroying his own.

You seem to be ignoring my point, I can understand, I'm using your "good book" against you.

He exhibited greed. He killed one of God's creatures out of greed.
Explain that away.

Throw Acedia in there too.

I'll give you some time to discuss it over with your bible class.
