Just get rid of all the religion nonsense, and say...Should humans die to liberate other humans?

No.

It's the "religion nonsense" that gives meaning to humans dying for other humans. God did that for us; why should we not that for others?

I don't agree, it's a human thing...regardless of your religious beliefs. Christians die for Christians, Jews for Jews, Muslims for Muslims, Christians for Muslims, Jews for Christians, etc, etc, even pagans for Christians!!....it's human nature, not a religious thing. God made us that way, regardless of your earthly, religious beliefs.

Speak for yourself if you don't mind. I do not need a man made dogma, no matter what it's called to tell me what is right or wrong. If you do, well great, I'm glad. But don't lump me in. Thanks.

The parable of the Good Samaritan is instructive.

In that parable is God's final answer to Cain's smarta$$ question, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

And God says, "Yup, you are. Get out there and do good for him."
