Value

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."

centimental value

A strong attachment to a family heirloom due to one's either being able to make a significant income from da ownership/use of said precious object, or knowing dat it will fetch a "pretty penny" if put up for sale.
If someone claims to have a special emotional attachment to an item at an estate sale --- especially if said object is of considerable value --- it's entirely possible dat he really means dat it is "of centimental value"; i.e., dat it would be worth a lot of money to the right buyer, and so he is merely wanting to selfishly turn a tidy profit by selling it.
