Meaning what exactly
After much investigation I’ve discovered that one of the driving forces that causes faith heads to latch onto their delusions is the belief that their life has infinitely more meaning if there is an invisible sky daddy fortifying their eternal meaning vessel. The standard issue argument against the naturalists is that our lives must be very shallow if all we can claim to be is the mortal human animal. The religious see us holding a glass that’s empty and pity the loss of the contents. We reply, “What glass? I have a body”
It’s as if those that walk in the kingdom of the holies, look at us humans and wonder how we can live from day to day, year to year, with the knowledge that at the end we’ll “complexly” not be. It’s assumed that since the secularists can’t extract meaning from another dimension we are forced to place a valued rating system on the meaning of a persons life depending on how much their actions influenced, or their work influenced, future groups of humans. Logically the idea of god and the good Shepard is very comforting in this view of reality. In my opinion this is the cause that secular/religious people create idols of historically documented figures. The god child view also contains the belief that it doesn’t really matter at all what one did or made, for as long as they loved the god and try to obtain the impossible perfection of his prophets, they have achieved the ultimate meaning in the eye of the god. Because apparently gods purpose was to create souls that could chose not to love him, thus creating a dualist system of mean and mean-nots. God must fear a world of atheists because then he would loss meaning, his purpose would be a failure and all would flash in a skillet of hell. Continue Reading »
