Hum... We have to all agree to assume we are real. That's all we can do. There's no point questioning that assumption with regard to every argument, since it undermines everyone at once, not just me. Shall we agree to assume we are real, or not?
If someone says human life is not valuable then yes, we agree to disagree. What else can we do? As a society, they disagree with us, so we have to protect society from them by locking them up if they start killing people. We can try and reason with them of course. That is the constructive action. But some people just don't care. Shouting "you're wrong" at them isn't going to make any difference.
What alternative is there? If "God" wanted us to all have the same morality, then he could have made us that way. Clearly he didn't, nor does he come down to settle disputes. We are on our own.
