This is part of the love your neighbor as yourself doctrine Reggie - as applied by Rome or more particularly by the Doctrine of Dave's church of one "Screw the neighbor so long as I'm happy." Fit's in pretty well with the position of Rome on respecting God's will where another person's physical life and soul are concerned. To heck with God's word, to hell with the person.. slaughter them as long as it makes Rome happy.

This is the problem with compromising scripture, Dave.. you do it one place, then you do it every place else and rationalize it endlessly based on what seems ok to you. This is precisely what we see with Rome. As a Christian, we're supposed to follow what God says - not debate ways to get around it. Love your neighbor as yourself cannot be misconstrued to Screw your neighbor, much less plague them.
If I have roaches and deal with them by gathering them all up and setting them loose in my neighbor's house, that is not loving my neighbor. But that is the difference between being Christian and being a pretender. The Christians stick to the word - the pretenders just use the name for it's potential marketing value.
