  • That statement is correct. When I wrote my comment, I thought you had written the opposite. That is why I recommended those two posts, which also convey the same idea that you did. Taking a human life is a billion-fold worse than killing an animal. Along the same line, taking the life of an Arahant (which is an anantariya kamma) is a billion-fold worse than killing an average human.
  • Of course, we must refrain from taking any life. 

P.S. Probably Christian read Taryal’s comment the same way I did.
