I'm using religion in a very broad sense, not limited to an established religion, confession, etc.
Religious beliefs are those which transcend sense and reason/logic. These are necessarily personal beliefs - two people can arrive at the same conclusion in different ways.
I'm trying to see if yours fits into a logical foundation, or some other, here:
That what I was trying to find out in asking whether the golden rule was a dependent value and more specifics of how you personally derive it's truth. Would I be correct in saying its value is in serving the value of " the survival of the human species, and beyond." IOW it is valuable because survival is valuable?Thanks for your reply.
Yes, survival is ‘valuable’.
Between the infinite portions of time that an individual’s life sandwiches itself within, this very fact makes it invaluable and worthy of preservation. The span of time that’s available for the existence of your physical composition is a fraction of what was available for your non-existence. Its value, because of its scarcity, is compounded exponentially, as a result.
Huh?
