If you believe in an afterlife anyway, why would you be against getting on with it?
How could a theistic belief system reinforce the sanctity of life?

I am guessing this is a "rebuttle" to a previous question on here that someone asked Atheists about suicide.
I will answer anyways. I am very much against murder, I believe that life is precious and that although there is life after death, that God wants us to make the most of this life.

What? All I know is that I am a HUMAN. No other requirements are needed. I know right from wrong - and the golden rule - and I didn't have any religious training or guidance by believers or non-believers when I learned the good stuff. Untainted child is what I was and trying to keep some of that innocence is what I work at daily.

It would be very saddening to believe you or I are here only because of an accident or a casuality.
It would be very saddening to believe life starts out of the blue, happens who knows why and ends out of the blue.
We believe it was not that way, that there was someone that organized it and if someone organized it, it is to disobey him to end a life when we want to.
In fact, even human laws condemn murder. No matter what happens after, you should respect the life of the rest, and even your own.

Because God had to give up something that he loved so much and he wanted to show us in the greatest sacrifice anyone could ever think how extremely important it is to him to have us be "with him" the only way in his perfect justice and perfect love to do this was to have someone of deity absolve the sin problem. Since God cannot come in contact with sin, he had to send his son. This was the only way he could do it and still be perfect in his justice.

Thou shalt not kill (murder).
Deuteronomy 27:25
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

I am against it because the Word of God says that it is a sin. Whether they will live eternity with God or not, we are to do unto others as we would have them to do unto us. Thus, no one has the right to take anyother's life. Only God should do that. May God Bless U.

Yes, murder is a sin, Jesus did not come so destroy the law, but to give us the Grace to for-fill it, when we obey Gods Laws, we are blessed in this life for our obedience, we are to love, above all love God, with all of your heart, and with all of your mind, and with all of our soul, and then the second is to love your neighbor as you love yourself, when you allow yourself to receive the love of God, your life will be to the full, and overflowing with Love, and the Peace that surpasses understanding.

Hmm I wasn't expecting the answers you've received so far. They appear to be against it, but what if you asked about capital punishment...would they remain steadfast in their anti-murder stance?

No. Murder is great for everyone. Why not? Why be against it?

Yes, because we have no right to take the life of another.
