Look, if you assign zero worth to something, it’s not all that far
from negative worth. That’s the leap of faith the terrorists made.
Don’t go there.

It’s also not that far from positive worth. Most Christians see it
from that perspective, which is why there are so many Christian
missionaries around the world.

So instead of a half empty glass, you see it as completely empty?
To be filled with either holy water or poison. I say you’re wrong.
The glass is already half full and the beverage is tasty.

I think the primary difference here is whether you approach it from
the idea that, “My life is not worth me living without my
god,” or from the idea that, “Your life is not worth you living
without my god,” that determines whether you will make an effort
to improve the lives of others or snuff them out like a candle in
the darkness.

What? I thought we were talking about the value of folks with no
god. You left that part out.
Enjoy life,
Don
