Oh, God,
wow. You are frustrating. Ok, so, if you can't see how it's wrong, I will explain it to you. Ok... You know what? I'm not going to
insult you this time. I was going to insult you but I've been at this for 4 hours now and at least you
made me think.
Hym "Ok... This:

Is a hierarchy. You see it? You get it? I know it's a little crude but
work with me here... So... to act you need a hierarchy of value. YOUR CLAIM is that the religious appiphony is that at the
top of the HIERARCHY... There is not ONE thing... But MULTIPLE. So instead of THIS ☝️ It's THIS 👇

And FOR SOME REASON... The MULTIPLE VALUES AT THE
TOP... Don't need to be
rank ordered. So, you say 'They're all equally valuable and constitute a unity at the
top' but then you list several values within this 'unity' that consisted of 'Truth, Beauty,
Justice, ect' but those aren't necessarily conceptually equivalent. '
Justice' is contingent on 'Truth.' For injustice to exist 2 things are required: A truth claim and an outcome that is non-concordant with the claim. 'Exploitation is
bad (and therefore should not occur) + Exploitation is occurring = Injustice (
literally)' And 'beauty' is inter-subjective and culture dependant. There are also some implicit assertions embedded in your claim, mainly, that the
rank ordering HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE by the Abrahamic religions... FOR EVERYONE. There's more to unpack but my objection is this: That is God to you in the same way that the universe is God to a pantheist. And you're not wrong in saying it but it doesn't perfectly comport to the bible."
