Why? You are insisting that YOUR values on how I live or die; are more pertinent, valid and correct than mine. You are injecting YOUR values on the world at large.

My stance is simple. I will not hurt or interfere in your life. I will show you the same compassion I would show anyone. If you are dying a slow and painful death; AND YOU PLEAD for me to end your suffering, I will respect you and be compassionate enough to show you mercy.

Yet, you would not only deny me the same compassion; you would go out of your way to prevent me from exercising the most basic level of control over my life.

Why? You are insisting upon freedom for yourself; but denying any semblence of freedom for me. Hence the comparision. These individuals insist that their values are the only metric that matters; and force those decisions upon everyone else .... which is exactly what you are espousing - if you only had the power to do so, you would.

Loving someone does not include murdering them.

God's values are more pertinent, valid and correct than yours.

Then you are a liar as well because just upthread you said you'd kill without hesitation someone who was trying t o save your life out of compassion.
