. . . . . .

Now this can be said to be appeal to consequence, but it's not.

Yes it is.

Got any evidence besides your bare assertion here?

There is higher calling in all this but you want to call all foundations of knowledges ourselves, which speaks of not only of love and appreciation of ourselves, but of others, to be without basis.

Love and value are not invalidated by subjectivity. You're essentially arguing that these phenomenon need to be transcendent to be real, and that they can only be transcendent if there is an eternal standard in God. This is an argument from ignorance; you can't see how these phenomenon can be transcendent without God, therefore God. Well that's a fallacious argument. And it's easily dismissed on that basis.

Nonsense.
