If I'm just gonna disappear into nothing then what's the point in anything?

Moral Nihilism, isn't that the thing of "nothing matters"?

the commitment to the minimization of the suffering you can be accountable for

If there's no point in anything why not disappear into nothing now?

no one thinks their own pain is nothing after all

Exactly

If the universe is going to end in heat death, why should I bother going on, right?

Grow a pair of balls, and make something good happen in life

So they'll build a statue, immortalise yourself in humanities eyes

Then you wont be disappearing 😉

But you wouldn't would you

If we proved 100% that there was no afterlife you would still likely not kill yourself

This is the problem with Atheists.

we should build a statue for the guy that invented the sewer system at some point

Once you get rid of religion, we feel like we have to replace it with something else.

Oh i'm a problem now Rye? 😛

@RyeNorth Atheism isn't a belief system though. It's just a rejection of faith in god

You don't have to replace it with more religion

it can be replaced by secular sources

It would be fine if that was all it was but most atheists are naturalists

religion is a human universal, there are also extracts of plants and other drugs that can reliably induce a religious experience

well thats human instinct, we need a purpose

for many people, Religion and being part of "something greater" is their percieved purpose

take it away without something to fill the void, and they becme SJW's

there is something in our brain that makes us want to be religious

Like, take me

this does not mean we should not critisize them ofc

I'm an objectivist

the sense of purpose Cytos! wanting to be part of something "GREATER"

lmao, shiv told me to take her

unfortunaly she is underage

i'm an objectionist! I'm against what you say!

[Rand Intensifies]

I form my morals from philosophy

I do not need religion

And this applies to most people

you do though

The point is, once you reject God, you have to have something else to explain things you can never know

in the way we evolved it that is

not religion,

Purpose!

@RyeNorth Wikipedia

its the same thing kinda

I just clean my room

See this is the thing people seem to assume you need to believe in god for the supernatural

@RyeNorth No i don't,

I know its not god, what it IS i don't know, but i know theres a scientific way to explain it 😉
