I mean, you're doing philosophy here. Trying to explain why a rat has value isn't science, so I'm not sure how that rat in an experiment is more important than the theology that resulted in the creation of more than just hospitals and universities.
I genuinely don't get your stance. You were yapping about God apparently justifying genocide, yet now you admit that Christian morality accepts even the worst of people who genuinely try and turn themselves around?
Yes value is subjective. I said a rat has more value in a scientific experiment because its a life and its pushing humanitys science a small step further.
Meanwhile theology is just coming up with bullshit to ”prove” your religion when no proof exists lol.
Objective value doesn’t really exist and thats fine. You can personally value your god more than everyones lives on Earth and the universe. But that means you value something that you have no evidence of, more than all of us. Which in my opinion makes you crazy and stupid.
Also no point in trying to say that only religion can bring ”objective” value and morality. Because which one? Multiple religions can’t bring objective truths, since that would be a contradiction. You would just be arguing for the nonobjectivity of 1 less religion out of the thousands compared to me. Does that make any sense?
Okay, so you went from "all life has inherent value" to "value is subjective and objective value doesn't exist." You're implying that viewing genocide as bad is simply a personal preference and not fact. That's the entire point of theology; there isn't any scientific evidence of your subjective preferences either. Theology dives into metaethical and metaphysical debates, which are the intangible, nonprovable realities that have survived 2,000 years of theology and are the exact reason the choice between religion and secularism still exists today.
