Obviously, I believe this because I believe that God created human life, and that He created it with value.
If your God created human life with value then people would not be infirmed or die.
I take care of things that I value. Your God doesn't.
To be fair, part of our "belief in God" is the belief that dying is just the transition into the next, eternal life.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
