I belong to a religion that doesn't require faith or a beliefe in something unless it's true for me. It is all about real spiritual development and not about being "good" to go to heaven. One example is we say thou shalt not murder instead of thou shalt not kill. My religion will not hesitate to harm another in a just cause.
Truth is truth. I know that isn't popular, but what is true is true regardless if you believe it or not. I could not believe in the law of gravity, but if I jump off a building I will know it is true by experience. Absolute truth does exist. You can not deny that. You can not live unless it does exist and your philosophy just expressed is not liveable. All of man's religions are about being "good." Whether that is to go to heaven or whether that is to attain a higher spiritual state or whatever, it is all about being good. Human history shows man is NOT good. The Bible portrays a message about the person of man that is completely consistant with the reality of human beings. If it has it right there, it is worth checking out to see where else it has it right. Your statement regarding murder/kill is biblical. The idea in the 10 commandments is thou shalt not murder. Justifiable homicide is sometimes necessary and the carrying out of justice is also scriptural.
