Human beings have virtually no value if they are just machines

Oh no, we are not an illusion, the idea that we need a sky hero was the "illusion" I was talking about. Good can be real, and empathy too, and that is part of our species behavior. The illusion is most humans chalk it up to their own perspective clubs instead of seeing our good as being in our genes. Even the more watered down illusion of reincarnation is also that.

The illusion I am talking about is that humans mostly get sold at birth the religion of their parents, so it is hard to see for most, the bigger picture that we are not different, or special, but we certainly are fragile and finite. I think the more humans consider that we are fragile and finite, the more care we would take not to physically harm each other.
