RE: To view all humanity as being potentially important ...

In a God-centric world, where a person is created in the image of God, every person has infinite purpose, and importance, and life has ultimate meaning. There are no qualifiers.

Now, if free will is a God-given attribute, then we can choose to be heroes or cowards, or even mass-murderers, and we each have ultimate responsibility for our choices. We can, as well, embrace or reject God, which also has its consequences.

This is the complete antithisis of post-modern reductionism.
