I once harbored such a perspective.

I do think that the triple nihilism conclusion is probably correct

But I don't think it's useful

The conclusion of that worldview is one I turned away from, as it is most nihilistic and excusatory of those acts which harbor no empathy for other members of our species. It's not a good framework to begin with.

Of course it's not useful.

Isn't theology the study of old Virgin men and child molsters views about fictional events

Seems like a meme to me

The ultimate conclusion is one that was with you all along, and that is to choose your path, what you value, and I believe most of us inherently wish for what we'd define as good, focusing with an empathy for your fellow man anyway.

And no, @NotDarkMagician, I already outlined the summation previously.

I used to be nihilistic.

Now I'm not.

Objectivism may draw you away from nihilism, if you find you've the time, @NotDarkMagician.

I didn't become a believer in the process though. But I see religion as a more positive force than I used to.

Indeed.

anyone here decent with reading japanese?

I *could* translate for you, @Samer.

I agree that one does not need to be religious to be moral, but virtually every moral system has been reinforced or built by religion in a self-supporting cycle.

There are no historic atheist societies.

So those that say they don't need religion to be moral still derive their morality from something a religion also backs (or possibly counter-religious morality).

Atheism is not an affirmative belief.

uh

not translating

just a wor

May I introduce you to Yua Wong? She's lovely.

I suppose it's a question of what Hua is running from, in that case, @Samer.

What?

elaborate

@fvriovs
Yua Wong, you never heard of her?

It simply means Hua is running, or Hua ran from something, @Samer. There's no further context, however.

No.

uhuh

"England was settled by a few other Northern Europeans Groups so you shouldn't worry about millions of Africans flooding in, it's exactly the same! "

from the BBC btw

She has an incredible ability called "bullshit detecting"

Hence her name Yua Wong

Huns did not settle in Britain.

Beyond possibly a few individuals.

Certainly not enough to impact the genetic make up of Britain.

Angles and Saxons were basically the same thing.

NORMANS WERE NOT FRENCH!!
