But wouldnt you say (from whichever point of veiw religious or otherwise) profit is immoral because for one to profit they must generally exploit others?
Even in the most mild form for example the medical drug industry; these people while helping others are still gaining on the misfortune of those who are sick.

Sorry didnt expect this post to end up quite here. It was a reply to the firts few posts. Specifically;
Quote:
If you allow killing for profit, everyone becomes a threat. You end up having to spend considerable resources on defense. As you can't trust anyone not to stab you in the back (literally), there's no cooperation, so you lose the efficiency of the division of labor.
Killing for profit simply isn't profitable.
