Does God have a reason why killing human is immoral?

God is claimed to be omniscient so He should have a reason for everything. I was wondering if believers think that God has a reason why an act like killing a human being is immoral. If yes, what is the reason?

God has no reason, if he had he wouldn't be God.
Because God would be that reason and not God himself.
God is the Absolute.
So absolute freedom.
He is free from any reason other than himself.
It is Chaos.
And as far as we are concerned it is Nothingness.
Therefore what is right and what is wrong can only be said by you, in perfect solitude.
Loading you with all the responsibility.
In your constant search for God.

God does not exist as real but rather in thoughts only.
Whatever is attributed to a God actually manifest from human thoughts based on their experience, intuition and feelings.
Thus when theists claimed their God [illusory] stipulate an act of humans killing humans is immoral, it implied they are making it up based on their intuition, which by coincidence aligns with an inherent moral fact of 'ought-not-ness-to-kill-human'.
The reason [intuitive] for this inherent feature of human nature is that,
if the killing of human is permissible then in principle every human will have the permission to kill humans as sanctioned by an all powerful God.
As such, in principle, it is possible every human will exercise this permission, then there is the possibility the human species will be extinct in time which contradict God command to populate the Earth with humans in time.
Thus this command that an act of humans killing humans is immoral is a control to ensure there is no possibility of extinction of the human species via humans killing humans.
Btw, the Islamic God does not stipulate that killing of humans by believers is immoral, which imply the religion is immoral and evil-laden.

Okay. Thanks for writing.
