You as card carrying Mormon would presumably be against murder, correct? Yet, Nephi, effectively "murders" Laban. Context.

In a flat world, people look for absolute rules. The only absolute rule with which I'm familiar is "Don't sin against the Holy Ghost."
This is why I proposed making the rule act consistently with the will of God, as what he wants us to do can change at times. Of course with such a definition one might ask if all sin is evil? If so, what is the difference?
