Just so I understand you correctly... the life of me or my loved ones is NOT objectively more valuable then the life of someone trying to kill me or them or even rape my wife or daughter? And based on that, just because they are trying to kill or rape, I still have no right to kill them because... who am I to say that I am more worthy of living than they are? That... is your position?

Or am I missing something here?

Do you believe humans possess innate value? If you do, then you understand that, objectively, no life is worth more than another. Do I personally value the lives of my kids more than the lives of virtually anyone else? Of course. That doesn’t mean anyone else does or that their lives objectively possess more worth than anyone else’s.

Someone doing a bad thing doesn’t erase their human dignity. It isn’t measurable. Humans all have it or we don’t.

Correct. Thou shalt not kill doesn’t have any fine print.
