How do you judge what a person is worth?

Well, I try not to judge others, but it's very hard. God is fair, though. And we are all equal in his eyes. He made us, and we are all special to him.

A person is worth more then the wealth on this earth.
Every person is equal in worth. It does not matter if they are poor or rich, a hooker or a CEO - they are all worth the same: priceless.
To say that one judges worth seems to say that there is some kind of sliding scale. That some aren't as valuable as others. Which is tainted thinking - and also is prevelant today and impedes or society.
If we started looking at all people as having the same inherent worth - we might actually get somewhere.

Atheism is NOT a religion, and there is no such thing as an "evolutionist."
*drink*
A person's worth is determined by how he lives the the real world. His beliefs -- or non-beliefs -- in the supernatural are not an issue, nor should they be. How he treats those closest to him, how he treats strangers, how he relates to co-workers, how he treats animals, and what he contributes to the world are how I judge anyone's character.

Just like a cow. The ribs go for about $10 per rack, the best parts about $15 per ounce - those are the ones you want to serve medium rare and triple trimmed, perhaps with some nice Merlot. The old fat ones, you can't really use them for much other than a stew.

A person is worth his deeds. Everybody's value is equivalent to the good deeds he does. And Hinfuism, the prominent religion in India says, "anything worth doing is only worth doing perfectly". So a person who is perfect in everything is of immense value.
Saying in terms of science,
Worth - directly proportional to - good deeds
Worth - inversely proportional to - bad deeds

Jesus spoke a parable about the pearl of great price. where a person finds the pearl and sells all he has to buy the field. where he hopes to find more.
for a long time i thought of that as being applied to one who seeks God. and it can.
but it can also apply to God, for he gave all he had - Jesus. counting everyone as the pearls of great price. - matthew 13:45-46

I am Christian, no religion. I think that everyone is equal in God's eyes if they have asked Jesus into their lives and has accepted Him as their savior and have a close relationship with him. If you are created by God (everyone is) then you are as precious as every one else and are speccial in their own unique way, because God made us, we are His wonderful and unique creation. YOu don't judge someone by their good works, but what I said before, if they ask Jesus into their lives.

There's no such thing as 'evolutionists'. Science is for understanding, not "believing". Do you "believe in" gravity? Does that make you a gravitationist?

You don´t. You don´t trade people. And if you have to judge that, everyone is worth the same, essentially.
