Murder is objectively bad for the well being of humans, so we are able to say that it is immoral. Notice you asked about "murder" and not "killing", that's because killing could be moral or immoral depending on the situation.
If I didn't believe in God and thought morality was subjective, I still wouldn't murder anyone because of the whole empathy thing.
My question is #2, but since you said you have to answer 1 for it, go ahead lol.
It just depends. There are times when murdering someone can benefit someone else in some way. Which is why they murder in the first place.
"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."
