Basically saying ultimate eternal value and earning value is a paradox. IF the latter is more valuable that being given it without earning it, the eternal value can't be the source. Yet without a source, there really can't be earned value.
Hence my nihilistic realization which lead me to even think perhaps the universe is created and maintained by evil demons (never shared that with you guys, but I believed it was possible).
Probably because the argument would be true of value, and of our relatively higher worth, the way you describe and define it.
It's a bad argument for atheism because atheism is only concerend with one thing..whether or not there are gods. A dirtbag god worth less than the least of us would still be a god. You wouldn;t have been the first person to believe the bit about the demons..though. It was a popular component of mystery religions.
