> Life is precious because it is short and fleeting.

Here's another viewpoint. Life is not precious at all because it is short and fleeting. Muslim here. We believe only the parts of this life which pertain to afterlife are precious, as afterlife is eternal instead of temporary. This life is merely an end to a means. It doesn't need to be a goal in and of itself because there's another life after it.

Of course , when a religion creates a Houri why would actual life be precious?

Your comment comes off as rather snarky. Please make substantial and constructive comments on HN.

Maybe 10% snarky and 90% insightful for those that don't know what Houri is and can mean by different interpretations.

My point is that if I believed in a religion [and a specific interpretation of God's written word] that said I could get to heaven with 72 Houri by committing murder then [actual] life would not be precious at all.

Please note, I'm not suggesting YOUR beliefs or interpretation of the text, but it cannot be debated that a sizable amount [in nominal terms] believe this.
