Avi K – Sure it’s a mitzva to teach goyim the sheva mitzvos. What does this have to do with the sheva mitzvos though?
The fact that the penalty for murder is the same for killing an 18 year old and killing a 60 year old, doesn’t prove that they are equal crimes, because: Had the penalty been a prison term, and it was the same amount of months for both crimes, you would have been able to prove that the crime is the same, because had one been worse, it would receive more time. With the death penalty, obviously, it’s impossible to make this argument. The best proof is stealing. Do you honestly think that stealing a quarter is tantamount to killing him? Yet the same penalty is given for both. You must concede that with the death penalty – since it can’t get any worse – it doesn’t really show in any way that two crimes penalized with it are equal.
