Our valuing something is what gives it value. Diamonds are worthless in themselves, it is only people valuing them that makes them worth anything. Value is not inherent, it comes from beings capable of valuing. There can be reasons inherent to the valuer to value something: beavers gotta value trees and streams and dams, we all gotta value not getting horribly tortured to death, we're capable of valuing abstract moral philosophies, but it's in the eye of the beholder, not in the object or idea valued in itself.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
