I can't enter the gates of Valhalla if I simply "let" myself get killed. I have to try and rip the head off the bastard who's trying to kill me.

It's the only way to impress the Aesir.

But why are you alive?

why exert the effort to survive if this is all that drives you?

Khorne is currently unimpressed.

you cannot be defined by what you ARE NOT

Because the effort or "exertion" of staying alive feels better than suicide does.

no definition is satisfied by such terms

@Seven Proxies You can also get in by shooting up Mosques, anon

they you are no different from the Left, only exerting effort based on the prevention of a thing rather than in the attempt to create, protect, acheive

just 'what feels good'

There are rumors Sony wants to do this

nothing worthwhile is every easy

it's this lack of purpose which drives the left to seek their purpose from others

rather than living in pursuit of what THEY want and what THEY value

'Not dying' != 'Living'

Like I said before: we're essentially just monkeys. Bigger brained monkeys than most, but still monkeys.

And as all animals on planet earth our behaviours are very simple and easy to predict: we engage in that which feels good to us, and avoid that which feels bad.

Suicide involves pain of some kind. Eating, breathing and procreating doesn't. In fact it usually involves pleasure instead.

You can sit around inventing arbitrary and pretentious "philosophiocal" reasons for why you stay alive, but at the end of the day you're doing it for the exact same reason as everybody else: eating, breathing, drinking, fucking and living simply feels better than exposing yourself to pain or death.

Not Dying = Existing

not dying = living in hell

for some, ralin

Man is an ape that can find pleasure in more than simple urges.

I've seen the abyss, oblivion is preferable to the human brain when it goes bad

those who don't know how to channel struggle into a positive

that is definately a concern, ralin

for all men with a degree of self awareness

as it will come for us all... better to die on your feet

Are you really the person to talk about self awareness though? When you delude yourself into thinking you stay alive for some lofty "philosophical" and "ideological" reason? 😉

Man is more an ape.. FAR more

@Seven Proxies It helps you enjoy the existence

No man isn't. God does not exist, and we were not created in some sort of divine image.

it is also extremely ironic, arguing using the unique sense of reason that man has been gifted that man is nothing MORE than a monkey

Quality of ape.

if we were monkeys, i'd just throw feces at you rather than type words on a screen

the monkey would get just as much fulfilment from throwing feces at you as we do typing on a screen

You, nor I nor ANYONE can say if God does or DOES not Exist

godamnit, a wells fargo employee stole my CC info again

Reason, Logic.. Math.. not the tools for debating such things

You are a product of blind and unintelligent evolution. A huge chain of trial and error with little intelligence involved.
And even though you have the capacity to invent for yourself a reason to stay alive, objectively speaking you're just doing it for the same reason as everybody else.

You seem to find this fact depressing or something. But you are probably just afflicted with the disease of sentimentality and a pathological need for "reason" in your life.

When you let that crap go, you stop worrying about things.

Reason does NOT 'prove' God doesn't exist no more than it 'proves division by 0 DNE

I know it's a WF employee because I have ~10 cards and it's always the WF one I never give out

God is UNDEFINED by such rulesets
