I thought you were making a more complex point.=) It's sad we often miss this obvious point that we sin against people is first and foremost against God (e.g. Ps. 51:4).

My point was that in the context of the "civil" crime discussion, there ultimately is no dichotomy between a "religious" crime such as blasphemy and a "civil" crime such as murder. <br /><br />While blasphemy seems to be a direct assault on God, and murder does not seem to be, the way in which murder is viewed in Gen 9:6, God does view murder as a direct assault on Him FIRST, not against the human, as tragic and evil as that is... <br /><br />Of course, this is not as obvious to the secular mind and of course, we would need Scripture to properly understand who is "primarily" harmed in murder, just as we would for blasphemy.
