Your conclusions simply do not follow from your premises. I am worth much more than a rock to myself, while you aren't worth even that. It's really very simple. My life and the lives of my loved ones have value to me and meaning for me. My place in a livable society, and the responsibility to maintain and improve it for them, yields the same valuable result for you and yours. It's an vast series of economic transactions of convenience for the "good" of each of us resulting in the "good life" for all of us.

You simply can't see the folly of your position can you? Yes, your loved ones have value "to you," another meaningless rock, but they do not have intrinsic objective value. They can't possibly. They have meaning to you, but the meaning you feel for them is just a meaningless chemical process in your materialistic brain. Next time you grieve for a lost loved one, might I suggest that you remember that the grief you feel is a mere chemical process on your brain....see if that will provide you with any comfort in your time of loss (I mean that respectfully). Under materialism, nothing can have value, yet you assign it value anyway. That is precisely the hopeless dichotomy I was talking about.

I see, so Balrog of course cannot be religious in any way shape or form because he chooses to understand the scientific value and pursuit of evolution.

I get it now, if you believe in evolution you are an atheist/communist/materialist etc etc ad nauseum.

If you believe that evolution is the best scientific explanation for what we are today, you must believe that god does NOT exist, and that NO one has a soul, that everyone is just a piece of the celestial rock that happens to think.

Get a clue Exmarine, get a clue.
