> think about modern britain. if you defend yourself from a burglar the burglar can sue, and win. that's the kind of thing this scripture is avoiding. placing guilt on the homeowner defending themselves whether the thief dies (meaning there's no justification for an avenger of blood) or survives (placing blame on the thief and having them pay restitution or be sold into slavery so the homeowner can afford to repair damage done to their home as a result of the breakin) it seems the british need to demand to be judged by biblical law! (esp. sice the muslims are demanding 'shariah'...)
