so far as I can see they're nothing more than accessories...interchangable if a person's beliefs/values are changed.
that which their values concern remains the same---how does God affect my life, how does pleasure make me feel, how does fame benefit me.. if these things were goals in themselves it would be odd that people choose one over the other, choosing only those which happen to be able to serve as means to that person's own satisfaction. this selection seems incoherent without the standard of the subjective experience as the explanation.
