point 2 says “hold in high regard” not “like”. do you think that once you “destroy” a rock, it ceases to exist in an absolute way? if so, you rank on 2, if not – on 1 – no matter what explanation you have for its continued existence.

and blue is crap, except when compared with purple, which is a mess. do you think blue and purple find me morally presumptious for my assumption? :-)

People that like anything alive (ie: nature) plus inanimate objects (such as the forces of our planet, eg: volcanoes, weather, etc, or the universe) but do not believe in a "spiritual force". Also, your pyramid order assumes that 1 is better than 2 down to 7. Is that not a bit 'morally' presumptious? Is red a better colour than blue? Remember, that if humans were not self-interested and greedy primarily, as ugly as that characteristic may be, they would have died out as a species many eons ago to more competitive ones. Please answer. Thanks. MMM. Hi Anna,
