Altruism is a bit more complex but overall id argue its harmful
Nihilism is the argument that man must guide himself
No its not
@Khanclansith define militant atheism
Nihilism said man cant know shit
Nihilism is the rejection of a higher order of moral value
Which means that the only remaining moral compass is the individual
Look at the skeptics
It stripped man of reason and integration and tossed him aside
These folks going on about how everyone with any sort of religious faith "Clearing is an insane unthinking ignorant monster!" @Beemann
Oh so the fedora tippers not even other atheists like
Yeah the neckbeard mgtows aka the new skeptics
Sorry, who do you count amongst that number? Keeping in mind that mgtow is not an atheist movement and we're now moving heavily into buzzword territory
True
Its till prevalent in the other groups of atheists
Also millennials
Also look how compartmentalized the universities are
Sorry are millenials and universities examples of new skeptics or militant atheists or nihilism?
Yes to a smaller extent
@Beemann When I posted the "Get the Wrong think" Critizism on the recent video some one came out at said the Student was "Not thinking and just brainwashed by Abrahamic religion" or something to that effect.
Most arent at the logical extreme or close
If you were born in the 80s or early-mid 90s you're a millennial. Generational distinctions get us nowhere
Most universities are ruled over by postmodern neosocialism, which does call to higher order morals
Its altruism
Also the science community is full of skeptics im talking about mostly
It's not raw altruism
Yes it isnt
As they arent dead
I don't think altruism necessarily leads to death, but it does lead to small subsistence-based societies
Which would be shit to live in
No it leads to death
The moral ideal is sacrifice
Sacrifice is not binary
Elaborate
I would go back to what I read about the fundament reason for religion. I serves three purposes: 1) to answer the great questions (Creation, Life, Death, Ect...) 2) to imprint Morals on individuals in support of the community Ethics (Do not steal, murder, ect) and 3) Provided comfort and guidance for people in tough times.
The expectation is not that you just kill yourself out of convenience for someone else
The idea is to form a rational version, not unlike rational self interest
The difference is that the focal point is not the individual, which is, I think, a key flaw
That is the logical extreme and also the lesser versions people giving up a higher value for a lower or none at all will lead to death
@Khanclansith you missed the biggest part: Bring people together, form communities.
You don't have to give up a higher value
