Thank you for your helpful posting. I understand that one's attitude
towards life - one's set of values - changes with the acceptance
of a concept of God and a set of divinely inspired (and perhaps
truly divine :-)) values.

Clearly, this acceptance is an act of faith. If one does not make this
act of faith, there are several alternative sets of values, including,
in particular, that which gives pre-eminence to self-interest.

On what basis can this set of values be compared to a God-given
set of values? (You will immediately recognize, of course, that
this basis cannot rest on faith.)
