Is killing a sin? How come you guys don't mention it? You seem to be real hung up on sex.You are right. But that also doesn't justify homosexuality. It is a sin, period. Along with adultry, sex before marriage, lying. Jesus did say the path to Heaven is a narrow one. Also Hindu, Buddhists, Islam, and scientology are all manmade religions, to me more correctly, cults.
Killing is one of those rare sins that is actually considered a sin by all mainstream human organizations.
It's a rare point of agreement, affording us the luxury of moving along to the points where we don't agree. Thank (insert your preferred Deity here) that the same can be said for child abuse, animal cruelty and robbing people at gun point.
Secular laws need to deal with how we interact with each other and be binding to all / religious laws need to be binding only to believers and deal with how we interact with ourselves and our personally preferred Deity.
For everything not covered by secular law, tolerance of each other is required. Welcome to the responsibility that comes as a price for freedom.
Actually, in the original 10 Commandments, it states "thou shalt not MURDER".
Killing someone in self defense is allowed, same deal for warfare.
Taking the life of an innocent is what is considered a sin.
