Yeah...that's pretty obvious from your general world view.
Do you live in Kentucky?
Yes, I live in KY. However, most Americans don't own a gun. Yes, I agree. Especially not someone with worldviews like you hold.

Good. I respect both that fact and that reaction.

Hundreds of thousands of people die every day around the world from preventable causes - famine, lack of access to clean water, easily curable diseases, etc. And rather than us doing anything about we're telling each other how precious all human life is.
Why? Is it because we're too lazy or too tight and would rather spend our money on fancy coffees and new phones? Or is it because we don't recognise those people as people but only as statistics?
I've come to terms with my indifference. Have you? If you haven't then act as if you really believe they were precious, stop posting here and do something about it!
See you later.

I rescued a leaf cutter bee from drowning yesterday afternoon, and spent an hour watching over him while he dried out and got his strength back in the palm of my hand.
It was great to watch his breathing, and look in to his eyes as he recovered, and his wing beats got stronger.
It was pure magic when he eventually flew away.
I thought his life was precious 🐝

I thought his life was precious 🐝 I've done similar things and when we're face to face with something we'd be less than human to not want to help. But claiming that we feel that way about all life is farcical. And on a slightly pedantic note. Bees don't "breath" like that...

One of the points of this thread.

Everything in Australia is trying to kill you.

It was great to watch his breathing, and look in to his eyes as he recovered, and his wing beats got stronger. It was pure magic when he eventually flew away. I thought his life was precious 🐝 I thought of you yesterday. I was reworking a small area of my garden, pulling up some old weed barrier, and there were earthworms aplenty. I moved them all to a safe area, then gently reworked the soil to even it out. The weed barrier went back in place, and was covered by mulch. Years ago, I came across the story of the man throwing starfish back into the sea, and a young man asking him, there are so many starfish on the beach, how can you make a difference? The man threw another back into the sea and said, "it made a difference to that one."

One of the points of this thread. So the point if the thread is life is only precious if we avoid killing even things wanting to kill us. Maybe we don’t value life just by eating. Interesting. I guess only grass values life.

You know in your own heart it is wrong.

You know in your own heart it is wrong. ill wait for God to tell me it’s wrong. The only other option would be to listen to you and that’s just lol.
