@jarak36 you obviously dont understand some of the finer points of the theory of evolution. fine, but you should know what you're talking about before you declare someone's argument invalid on that basis.
I exist. I want to continue existing. So I need safety - controlling the threats around me. So whatever I have that protects me... feeds me, etc., I certainly need to keep...I don't want others to take them. Same for everyone else. They don't want me to take their things. Basic 'law of reciprocity' or 'golden rule' ... do onto others as you would have them do onto you. So if you want to be safe you're safer not taking from others because you don't want them taking from you. That's morality.
You've been told, eh? Can you back this up? I don't care if someone told you something. Show me the 10 Commandments in Hebrew and the passages where God instructs the Israelites to kill, enslave, etc. in Hebrew.
You are interpretting the Bible yourself without the inspiration of God. I've been told the literal translation of the Hebrew text is "Thou shall not Murder" which is radically different from "Thou shalt not Kill."
You're saying God can't make up his mind but the problem is you are defining the commandment in your own way and not using God's definition.
Thus it is not God who can't make up his mind but rather the reader's inabillity to properly read the text.
The fact that something's alive means very little. You do eat meat, and/or plants. They are both forms of life. The morality of what can be killed should be decided sentience/the ability to suffer, not whether it's human or living.

meh, atheistic evolution would have you kill your neighbor, take his steak and procreate with his wife... more offspring, less competition.
Your argument is invalid.

Of course. There are numerous nerve endings that are chopped away when one is circumcised. It's mindless mutilation.
