I was simply referring to the statement that values are axiomatic which I 
disagreed with. As for Christianity, I don't see it as a rational =

value (except maybe for medicinal purposes). You would have to present some 
arguments to show that it is a rational value that aids in the =
survival/flourishing of one's life.
