Or amybe they invented religion and passed these morals from it because they knew that if they speak for God people will listen more than if they speak for themselves.

Hmmmmm, people who bashed other people over the head with rocks to take over their caves didn't think so.
As for murder being murder. True. It remains open what punishment should there be. Why are people saying state is murdering people with death penalty but they don't say state kidnaps them when they are put in prison?
