Mans laws usually break God's laws, but the laws are not null and void.
Killing is against God's laws in any and all religion, however, this is the one law humanity seems to break most often.

God's Laws are never null and void! They were established long before we were here and will continue long after we are gone. We, as mortal, cannot conceive the immortal. Is the law of gravity something man invented? Did Newton's 2nd Law of Thermodynamics come about because Newton described it? When you ask a 2 year old if he/she took the cookie - why does the child lie or start crying? There is a built-in, God-designed morality within all of us. You did not learn morals. All the "good stuff" - God already put inside you. The bad stuff, like murder, hate, envy, etc... (for a nice list, see Galatians 5:19) you learned from your parents and society.
We make war for selfish reasons. In O.T. times, man made war by God's instruction to eliminate and obliterate evil. Does this sound like Iraq?
By the way - there is a huge difference between killing and murder.

I assume you are referring to the same God of the Old Testament who condoned wars, and the same God of the New Testament who said, "there is a time for war". Because If you're not, then your question is nill and void.

The Bible was written by man...so technically Gods laws were written by man. Who talked directly to God to find out what God's laws were...and why are homeless bums who talk to God considered crazy, but the people in the Bible are prophets and apostles???? How do we know the homeless bums don't have the same divine power to speak directly to God?

God's laws stay forever regardless of man's behaviors & beliefs. If not to everybody, God's laws will be significant at best to God-seeking people.

No. Nothing invalidate's God's laws. Man just CHOOSES to place his own laws over God's.

Never.
There is a contradictory belief there, isn't there.
Brought in by Constantine, who needed an army (which he found from Christian population) then aided by Luther's idea of a "just war", the idea we could kill our enemies instead of loving them caught on.
It is always taught to love your enemies, and do good to them that persecute you, etc., so where does war get justified?
I cannot see it.

Do our laws take presidence over God's laws. I guess you would have to ask God.

God killed more people, men, women and children than man ever has.

The Catholic church teaches that there are just wars. There are times when fighting to beat back a tyrant or tyrants are acceptable.
