Who did that? Jewish people who wore mixed fabrics were unclean and had to cleanse themselves. Who murdered people for that?

Oh no, my half remembered example of overly violent reactions to breaking moral traditions might not be literally accurate!

Did religions include extremely harsh punishments for breaking moral codes? Yes. That is the point even if the details aren't exactly right.

You can hold to an ethical code while breaking your moral code. This seems to be an example of that, and my frustration with ethics codes of many professional societies/organizations. You can be entirely ethical yet still spend your life crating efficient life ending tools.
