Is the right to life inherent? Yes.
Then why does your god take it away? You mean why do people die? Either because someone killed them, or because of natural causes. God gives people free will, and God allows nature to take its coarse. Per my beliefs, God does not come down from Heaven and murder people.
The wages of sin are death. Before the Fall, humans were immortal. Your god took that away from every human who has ever lived.

Then why does your god damn people to Hell for blasphemy? Saying "God damns people to Hell for blasphemy" is simplistic. I believe each person is judged individually based on what was in their hearts at the time they sinned. If a person ultimately rejects goodness and love, they go to the only place where those things are not present.
Not so fast. Even speaking your lord's name in vain is listed in your Bible as an unforgivable sin.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. And I don't believe that all atheists automatically go to Hell. Once again, each person is judged individually, and I don't think that simply not believing in God during this life automatically disqualifies someone from Heaven.
Hmm, if you don't think nonbelievers go to hell, are you really Christian? Is there catechism, supported by biblical verse, that says nonbelievers can get into heaven?
