This may seem silly question, but am asking this seriously. Is killing cockroaches a sin? I am asking this because there are lost of cockroaches in my house which I kill manytimes. Is it a sin?

Depends.If you kill them for FUN,it is sin. If you kill them because they are problem,it is not a sin.

To some religions it may be a sin, but hey, you can't live with dirty 'roaches! So kill as many as you can and be prepared to live along side them in Hell if I'm wrong!

I would hope not, becuase I have killed many. I've also killed many ants, spiders, beatles, and many other little insect that comes across me way. I would be a horrible person if it was a sin! I hate bugs!

If you ask Jain Munis, they may say yes. But we are ordinary people, we cannot live like sadhus. It is not only cockroaches but also other insects, rodents should be killed which are health hazards.
