If you think you can, as a society, encourage stealing from a grocery store and expect them to stay open, more power to you. I hope your community doesn't become a food desert, because that's a part of a downward poverty spiral.
Bible also says if a man lay with a man as he would a woman, that he should be put to death. So maybe we just kind of decide on our own morals instead. I agree with you regardless of the text though in that an eye for an eye can sometimes be justified
For us filthy yanks, the equivalent of the Church of England in the US is called the Episcopalian Church, and I think they're pretty alright over here as well. They were one church that said yes when I was looking to marry my husband.
