Evidence that killing is wrong is certainly possible, but your statement "I think that killing is wrong" is such weak evidence that it is fair for us to dismiss it. You may provide reasons why we should think killing is wrong, and maybe we will accept your reasons, but so far you have not given us anything worth considering.

I think that you are also equivocating on the word 'imply', suggesting that 'distasteful implications' means something like 'logical implications'.
