Now you're getting it!
I got it way before you did.

Even if I agreed that everything you said was somehow objectively true, it still ultimately makes not a whit of difference. You, myself, and everyone else that has ever lived share the same destiny. Yes even the serial pedophile and the worst possible person that your imagination can conjure up all share the same destiny. Your "objective values" will not preserve your life beyond the grave. And since I determine what is meaningful to me, your opinion counts for absolutely nothing because none of what you say is meaningful to me.
Your posts amount to nothing more than you telling me you like a Bic Mac and a Large Fry.
I like a Whopper with cheese and a small fry with a coke.
Take it any way you like - it wouldn't change the fact that what I said is objectively true.
Your destiny concerns your life - not any imagined life after death. Which is why me, you or the serial pedophile do not share the same destiny. My objective values are not meant to preserve life beyond grave, they are meant to preserve life before it. And since my choice of values actually do that, they end up being more relevant and meaningful than yours. Which is why though you may choose what is meaningful to you, even then there would be a right choice and a wrong choice.
You may disregard these statements as my "opinion" the same way you may disregard reality and tell yourself that you are on first class flight to London. Everyone else, however, knows that you are just on a fast track to stupidtown.
