why do you need to experience it, for what? in less than 100 years after you die, no one will remember you, know who you are or were, everything you do will be forgotten as if you never existed in the first place. remember you life is sooooo short compared to infinity that it almost never existed in the first place. it wouldn't mattre if you experienced anything, it's meaningless and you will die into nothingness just like before you were born.
That is a very selfish view of the world. The reason we exist is to insure the continued existence of life. When one dies, the collective continues. Notice also that all that you were is reabsorbed into the system. In that view death is only an end to the small minded.
this is a good analogy, but too specific for this arguement. if i were a true atheist i would throw out my computer and then kill myself, for everything is for nothing.
Then you will probably never have the pleasure of a clear, objective thought. I am an atheist, and yet I do not kill myself. That is not a contradiction, to most of my religious friends. This is not the first time I have heard that argument. I could say the same about you: you say that humans need a god to live. In this I say that you expose your own weakness. You are weak and therefore inhibit the growth of life. For this reason you should kill yourself, for the good of the whole. You are in a stasis, unable to learn. You will never be a better person, so kill yourself.
because suicide in most religions is a forbidden sin and you'll goto hell
Why is that so? That was a tool of control. Tell them that being poor is a virtue. Tell them that they will go to a better place after death. Why would they then endure? Invent an artificial mechanism to keep them from ending their suffering.
well i can't accept this answer, you are speaking in the moment, i am taking about your life timeline as a whole.
To you that is limited in scope to yourself. Again you show weakness, kill yourself! When you die the world goes on.
if something begins meaningless and ends meaningless then the middle must be meaningless.
Beginning, ending, and middle have no true meaning. You set these points of measurement due to a lack of understanding.
race that will die soon compared to the universe time. everything you do will be done in vain and in the end be a waste your your energy.
No. Consider, where did we arrive from. To you we start here and end here, but consider that life probably didn't suddenly sprout here. Viruses have a long lifespan, long enough to make a journey through space. Also consider that we have a chance to continue the existence of specific lines of creatures. That is another good reason to continue this existence.
no, i never said we all should do this, no no no. remember I am not an atheist. I said any TRUE atheist should by reason, kill themselves. If they don't then they are not a true atheist, becuase it implys he/she believes in some afterlife or continuation. or atleast has doubt.
Your definition of atheist is your barrier. Your limited view of this continuation inhibits your comprehension. As I said previously, when I die the world goes on. Others will live
because I have died. If I were to live forever we would certainly be doomed. Consider that death is an adaptation of life to change. If we live forver we will never have random gene changes. This exists to a degree in complex life. They cannot adapt and thus they become extinct. Their weakness means the discontinuation of their species. Again it all comes with your perspective of the matter at hand. If you are selfish then your afterlife matters. If you are a realist only the continued existence of life matters. Also consider that we have a very subjective view of consciousness. What may seem special to us, is probably not so spectacular. You assume that we are better than inorganic matter. This is another jaded view you need shed.
All I ask is that you judge only after reviewing the facts. From your conclusion I know your awareness on these issues to be lacking. Please return when you have found more perspective.
