That doesn't follow. All that proves is you ought to take responsibility for yourself and actions, not that you ought to value yourself more than others.
Isn't that the same thing? Nobody's going to take care of me, but me. Meaning I have to look after myself above all others. That doesn't mean I need to interfere with others in the process, but no one is going to drive me to the gym, and sit me down in a machine. Nobody's going to stock my pantry with healthy food, instead of sugary junk. I have to do that myself.

That's responsibility, not valuing which is done with love.

I do't get the difference. I really don't see an issue with valuing myself above others, while also believing people should do the same regarding themselves.

Somehow his logic isn't. Between MysticKnight and Little Rik my head is spinning, it must be time for bed. cho

1. Worship is what is valued most.
2. Each person tends to value themselves the most.
3. No person believes others ought to value them the most.
4. We are in double think where we value ourselves as number one but don't believe others ought to value ourselves the most.
5. Each person committed to valuing themselves the most thus creates a false belief, they don't truly believe they should be valued most and hence are believing and acting to lie.
6. Therefore we are false gods.
7. This suggests there is something we should value the most that is not us and that everything should value the most as well.
8. That being is that which out to be valued the most by us and by all (God).
None of this (zero, zilch, zip, nada) proves any god exists.
Please, MK, just stop.
I used to like you, but your constant attempts at these massively flawed 'proofs' has gotten old.
If you are coming up with these 'proofs' in an attempt to shore up your own irrational beliefs, please just keep them in a personal journal. If you think for a second any person here, that values critical thinking and rational thought, is going to fall for them, you might as well just give it up now.,
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Indeed love and responsibility can be the same thing

Second you can value something without love

No. Worship has zero value in my worldview. I say again: Zero.

You, sir, have no right whatsoever to dictate what anyone else "ought to" value. You are entitled to speak only for what you value.
