Listen, buddy, if you're going to descend into religiosity, then I don't think there's any point to continuing this. I'm not going to reason you anywhere, since you've not reasoned yourself into your current position in the first place, especially given how you've literally begun to virtue signal your faith here, in violation of your own holy book.

No, whatever, I'll make a good faith attempt. I disagree with your position that a every life has value and every human has potential. There is simply no evidence in support of this position, and mountains of evidence against it.

If humans were so good and full of potential, why does your own religion need to call people to mercy, kindness, charity, and etc? If humans, as a whole, had some inherent qualities and potentials to this effect, would your god need to threaten people with eternal punishment for sinning? Wouldn't people simple do these things, without being prodded and cajoled?

The fact that we consider great kindness or charity to be as rare as great skill with mathematics or engineering tells a story of a misbegotten species that, very occasionally, has some small number of people rise above their base nature.

Which is my whole point. Humans don't inherently carry value. People demonstrate value through accomplishment and achievement, in whichever arenas they strive in.
