(btw, the value you've described isn't inherent, it's assigned.....by god. Had god assigned that value to mushrooms, created them with value you reserve for human beings........ You see, it's nothing about us, not inherent to us..in your description...it's about god, and what god did.)
If I stopped believing in God, I would not change my mind about human life having inherent value because it is so engrained into me.
But I would have a hard time justifying my claim that it does.
(I'm not sure what you mean. Yes, God did create us with value... but it's still about us because He made us that way. So we are that way.)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
