You have a problem with "transcendent"? I used that word quite deliberately. Not as religious code, as I am not religious. I use that word in it's purest, most succinct form. "Surpassing others, preeminent or supreme." Life and Liberty are transcendent values (oops another "problem word" for you?) that cut across humanity ,religious or non-religious, that not EVERYONE holds. It is our duty as peace loving people willing to uphold those values and condemn with force if necessary those who would destroy those two supreme VALUES. tran·scen·dent (trn-sndnt) adj. Surpassing others; preeminent or supreme. Lying beyond the ordinary range of perception: “fails to achieve a transcendent significance in suffering and squalor” (National Review). Philosophy. Transcending the Aristotelian categories. In Kant's theory of knowledge, being beyond the limits of experience and hence unknowable. Being above and independent of the material universe. Used of the Deity
