If he equates Murder to either i) Adultery ii) gossiping and iii) Lying (presumably that doesn;t cause death ) then he is one dangerous loon and he should have been remanded into the custody of a mental institution.
actually, the bible is all over the map in regards to what sins carry what penalties and exactly what is overlooked.
Drich's point about adultery and murder being just like lying and gossiping is pointless, since King David was allowed to commit both of the former with only a slap on the wrist. This business of sin being sin no matter what the offense is bull shit even in the Bible.
