Even if you're a strict follower of Christianity, is it not still debatable whether the sanctity of God-given free will could possibly outweigh the sanctity of God-given life?

Where did you get the Free Will is Sanctified? Don't forget it's that free will that brought the curse of sin into this world. I'm not sure that the Bible ever says that free will is santified.

If you, and no doubt you have, researched the Christian religion, you should have realized a few things. Look at religion in a simplified form, where a group of people believe in a Supreme Being or Beings. This Being or Beings gave them life and a set of rules to live by. The people are like "children" who could either be forgiven and/or punished for not obeying these rules. -----"God" gave life, so according to this philosophy life is the most precious thing God could do. There would be nothing without life. How could life be outweighed by any other "sanctity" within that or any other religion? Even "free will" has limitations, based on factors such as charteristic traits, upbringing, environment, societal laws, and religion too. We are continuously conditioned by these factors as we develop this thing we call "free will".

I don't see a contradiction. God is the giver of life and we have no right to take it. The fact that we have free will and therefore we can CHOOSE to take someone else's life, (murder for example), doesn't mean it's not wrong. God granted the gift of free will, but as free moral agents, we must face the consequences of our decisions. 'You reap what you sow.' Edit: Definition of the word CONSEQUENCE The effect result or outcome of something occurring earlier
