Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even you Khem. I am even willing to grant that you would be justified in believing some things to be more praiseworthy than others. Belief in a transcendent hierarchy of values is, after all, a properly basic belief. However, a conviction that there is no ultimate transcendent value is in conflict with the opinion that there are values. All I am saying is unless you appeal to some transcendent source of values your opinion is unwarrented.
