Unconventional Religion

[genkaus]

A significant detriment of oneself is uncalled for.

Yes, it is.

And yet the streets aren't lined with Christians in rags.

That's because Christians don't follow their own principle of putting morals before money - they just preach it.

Nuns are the elite of humanity?

According to your religion.

If that was true, religion would be a meritocracy. Something exclusive to your worldview. You don't become a better person by the stuff you give away—a precept Christ specifically treated.

That's not what meritocracy means - so, no. And according to your religion, you do become a better person by giving stuff away.

Human life is objectively valuable, unless relativism objects to that too.

If it was objectively valuable then it'd be measurable - which it isn't. And that has nothing to do with relativism.

My death is not instrumental to feeding the hypothetical children you brought into the scenario neither to me or to a third party—only to the murderer, who had plenty of different ways to solve his problem, and even get money from myself, without murder.

Your death is instrumental to some benefit to the murderer and according to the doctrine to self-sacrifice, that is sufficient reason for you to accept your death.

Whatever profit you would make would come from everyone else, making you a little richer and everyone else a little poorer.

Wrong. Life isn't a zero-sum game where my benefit necessarily means someone else's loss. Humanity would never have been able to grow so much if that was the case.

To make humanity grow is to strike a balance between rich and poor, which is to take a loss and let someone else get the profit every once in a while.

Wrong. If you try to focus on the balance, all you'd accomplish is keeping humanity where it is. The way to make it grow is by making everyone richer than they are - including yourself.
