The aim of this page is to examine the claims of Christians that they have access to absolute moral values by examining one example,murder, in particular. It is often claimed that the existence of absolute moral values is an indicator that there is a god, as it is claimed that only a god can provide absolute moral values. Let us look at one moral value in particular, killing.
Murder is a better translation than killing.
It is agreed by most people that you are sometimes allowed to kill people, for example in self-defence. It is agreed by everybody that you are not allowed to murder people. After all, murder is defined as unjustified killing. It would be if everybody agreed what killings were unjustified. In Britain, killing people by the State is regarded as murder.
