[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1596500, member: 15338"] Umm, no. The ones I listed are the only ones that cannot be done to save a life. Evrythihg else is AALOWED to save a life. Thus I would see all of those in the top list of penalties as not "allowed under any circumstances"type of sins whereas the rest can be put in abeyance if it is to save a life. Othetr than that I have no issue with the way the game handles it - it is a game and mechanics are necessary :) A difficult situation. Don't forgot the Jewish understanding is "DO not Murder", not "Do not kill". SO a soldier in wartime can kill, a person can kill in self defense etc. I would imagine that a spy, as operating for the betterment of the nation would be able to kill IF necessary. Arbitary murder would never be OK. Theft is again a very muddy area. Property rights of idol worshippers were held as being less than binding - so if a lost item is found that in an area idol worshipper and it would belong to one of them, then it is not necessary to seek the person out to return it, whereas if it is in a Jewish area the reverse holds. That said, it would NOT be ok to arbitarily help yourself to anything you feel like just because it belongs to idol qorshippers! True, but as you say Zaroastianism was still a very new and on the horizon religion, nowhere near the influece it would have later. [/QUOTE]
