Oh they are on the other side but there are several places on the other side, they are not in heaven I am certain of that.
Plus I mean look at there definition of heaven it is nothing like ours, they get to drink wine but are forbidden to drink it while alive, they have a permanent erection (OUCH no seriously I mean OUCH don't they even know how painful it get's), they have lot's of pre-pubescent nymphomaniacs that are always virgin's (Described by one of there writers as young willing - obviously there interpretation of willing is open to debate - blond and blue eyed with skin like milk and no pubic hair).
Basically they get to live in a ZOO, a drunk and drugged up male Gorilla with a group of defenceless under age female gorilla's is what it sound's like I mean at least we get to be like the Angels' and Angel's do get about all over the place so are FREE and that mean's no Zoo for us - we also have equal rights on the other side according to Christ, no difference between a man and a woman in the resurrection.

Unless it is all a fairly tale meant to control the sheeple...
Then you really have to analyze the motivation behind the different doctrines..

If I’m right agriculture is credited with that swap.. women became property once we stopped Hunter gathering and actually started having personal property to protect or hoard..
Applying double standards to justify something someone wants to do is a common human trait. Much like hypocrisy.
Do not just follow the crowd: If you realize that what everybody thinks is not necessarily correct, you can find the strength to think differently. While it may seem that all others think the same way, does this mean that you should? Popular opinion is not a reliable barometer of truth.
...many Bible verses provide God’s view of human life, including that of an unborn child.
Life is a gift from God. (Genesis 9:6; Psalm 36:9) He considers all life to be precious, including the life of a child in the womb. So if someone intentionally kills an unborn child, that amounts to murder. In God’s eyes, life—especially human life—is sacred. (Genesis 9:6; Psalm 36:9) This principle applies to a baby growing in the womb, a place designed by God to be a safe haven for a developing child. “You kept me screened off in my mother’s womb,” said a Bible writer. He added: “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; all its parts were written in your book regarding the days when they were formed.”—Psalm 139:13, 16.
God’s view of the life of an unborn child is also reflected in his Law to the nation of Israel and in our God-given conscience. God’s Law stated that a person who assaulted a pregnant woman and killed her unborn child was subject to the death penalty—the killer paying with his own life for the life he took. (Exodus 21:22, 23) Of course, the judges had to take into account motives and circumstances.—Numbers 35:22-24, 31.
There are many today who would like to ‘delude us with persuasive arguments.’ (Colossians 2:4)

I think here is the problem.. you are counting every time a human is involved with he death of another human as murder, ...
Public opinion is a good barometer for truth when it is a subjective question..
THAT question was cynically posed to Jesus by the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate. He was not interested in an answer, and Jesus did not give him one. Perhaps Pilate viewed truth as too elusive to grasp.—John 18:38.
This disdainful attitude toward truth is shared by many today, including religious leaders, educators, and politicians. They hold that truth—especially moral and spiritual truth—is not absolute but relative and ever changing. This, of course, implies that people can determine for themselves what is right and what is wrong. (Isaiah 5:20, 21) It also allows people to reject as out-of-date the values and moral standards held by past generations.
The statement that prompted Pilate’s question is worth noting. Jesus had said: “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” (John 18:37) Truth to Jesus was no vague, incomprehensible concept. He promised his disciples: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:32.
Where can such truth be found? On one occasion, Jesus said in prayer to God: “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) The Bible, written under divine inspiration, reveals truth that provides both reliable guidance and a sure hope for the future—everlasting life.—2 Timothy 3:15-17.
Pilate indifferently rejected the opportunity to learn such truth. What about you? ...
Certainly, the handiest trick of the propagandist is the use of outright lies. Consider, for example, the lies that Martin Luther wrote in 1543 about the Jews in Europe: “They have poisoned wells, made assassinations, kidnaped children . . . They are venomous, bitter, vindictive, tricky serpents, assassins, and children of the devil who sting and work harm.” His exhortation to so-called Christians? “Set fire to their synagogues or schools . . . Their houses [should] also be razed and destroyed.”
