Actually, it's also been said that mercy and justice both have to be exemplified. And besides, mercy only really applies when if it's not shown, they get into big trouble or something. It's just a ban. They can last for a few days without talking to people. I don't really see how the subject of mercy is a big deal here.

And also, not everyone is a Christian, so you can't base your argument on religious values.
