Without God, what is the point of even enduring all the pain in life?

there is no reason. That's why jews realized they make others suffer to minimize their suffering

As an atheist, I think so. Just make a purpose for yourself.

Just think the future you leave your kids i guess. Christianity is just cope for what happens after death but even in your death the world still moves forward. Put yourself in your kids shoes

Can you explain how god makes it different for you? Genuinely curious what difference it makes, I think its likely god exists but I have no idea why that would make a difference if god did not exist

amazing meme, stolen!

to answer OP. God is just the primal split of chirality made everything after, enjoy the spin just like the atoms enjoy spinnin in different L or R orientations too, DNA does it too XD

We live in a universe that’s 99.9% hostile to life. What are you expecting?

You mean the rich and powerful causes suffering?

that's just about the most depressing thing you could say with our current situation.

Because without a belief in God/Higher power we're all just clumps of cells living utterly meaningless lives.

And if you aren't enjoying your meaningless existence, the only logical move would be to kys. Whereas with God, and especially Christianity, suffering provides meaning.

Suffering in itself is purpose.

There wouldn't be anywhere near as much pain without the cosmic torturer though

No such thing. Wake up from your lie.

My life is great so I reject your entire premise. Babes, brews, buds, I got it all. Sucks to be you though. Maybe your life IS pointless. Kys? Seems like the correct answer given your worldview

My purpose in life is to enjoy myself. Sure, I wish I had the peace of mind to know there's an afterlife. I've tried it with Christian psalms, going to church, even liked some Arabic music and started getting into that when I was a teen for a brief period, but even being an impressionable kid I couldn't believe that shit. Religious people sound crazy to me, and although I sometimes wish I was I part of that cult because it seems like a communal thing in some areas, it screams retardation to me.

Suicide is the final question of philosophy. Yet actually doing it is far harder than most think.
>>
there isn't. that's why civil marriage should be gotten rid of. you need to be brought up in a church and be taught a church's morals so you can exist in society in the right way

I saw some a stabbed and abandoned baby webm.
It's a negro but it really changes you.
Many missing children in the world.
The truth is there's no answer, and wishes are the verdict when the question is a mystery.
It's a clarity of confusion.

Why would it be meaningless? Meaning of life as your pic related suggests is to struggle even though the struggle in the end is futile, the struggle makes you stronger and more resilient if you dont break during your mortal life, yeah you are like Sisyphus but I dont see it as a bad thing
>Whereas with God, and especially Christianity, suffering provides meaning.
Well we seem to agree, its just you who inserts god into it for whatever reason, I still dont understand where god comes into the picture desu but we seem to view it pretty similarly
>>
>>525343227
The objective purpose is to perpetuate life.

>>525347026
>the struggle makes you stronger and more resilient
To what aim? To struggle more?
>>
>>525346049
What you are engaging in is called "hedonism"

And that philosophy might serve you now, but these conditions are precarious. What will you do if circumstances change?

>>525343227
what pain? my life is pretty awesome

Subjective and changing with the winds. Will be supplanted by groups with a clear purpose (Muslims, Jews, etc)
>>
>>525347855
Checked, as I already said, the struggle gives you much more than you give it, the struggle makes you stronger and more resilient if you dont break. How does the aim change if and when god exists? You struggle to please god or something?

Novel concept. Now what happens if you're hit by a bus due to no fault of your own. it severs your spine and you are bedridden in inconceivable levels of pain for the rest of your life. Doctor won't give you pain meds because of muh opioid crisis.

What then? Also, it's nice to see you're resorting to reincarnation.

Even if god exists its still and insanely miserable situation though, we reincarnate through our offspring anon, thats the thing. What makes life worth living is our immortality and vulnurability, ever play vidya with cheats on? It gets boring after 30 minutes, the ancient greeks would say gods are envious of us for this spesific reason
>>
>>525350407
Mortality*

>>525343227
Believe in God if that helps you to make it thru the day, but please don't try and pretend your cope is the only legitimate cope.
I don't believe in God, but I love my life every day, my family and children are worth living for.

everything in the universe has a function, things without a function dont exist. everything has a reason for why its there and this is not only limited to Earth, its the entire universe.
the Human race usecase is basically the same as mold. take the planet apart, break things apart into other things and use these for further expansion and growth of the human race/mold.
the more resources you use and the more you take the planet apart the better you are fullfilling your true destiny.
when mold is about to run out of food it has 3 options: eat it all up and die, expand to other foodsources/planete, go into rationing mode until 1 or 2 happens.

and thats basically it and when you die, you get respawned either here or on some other world where the same thing is going on.

Believe it or not, but there is not a single verse in the entire Bible that specifically calls the Jews or the Tribe of Judah God’s chosen people. This misconception comes from the fact that the Jews of today have declared themselves to be Israel and not the house of Judah, as the Scriptures rightfully call them.

Used to be bettering yourself, family and community. But community doesn't mean shit with modern transportation and deliberate undermining of homogeneous societys. Its becoming harder to have a family.

>Without God, what is the point of even enduring all the pain in life?
Existence of God doesnt make it worthwhile desu. However to answer the question
in short: no point
in detail: We live in a world thats constantly decays into nothingness. To make a point or a purpose of some sorts would be a denial or a contradiction of this truth. Its not just an endless suffering, its an endless suffering with no reward in the end of it all because at some point humanity will cease to exist.
Any personal goals are only as worthwile as you make them to be, but in the face of the absolute mean nothing.
Religion doesnt help because we still have to live out our physical lifes

>We live in a world thats constantly decays into nothingness.
actually we dont, the universe is constantly increasing its complexity and over time things become more complex, if that wasnt the case humans wouldnt exist at all.
>at some point humanity will cease to exist.
the universe produces life all the time and if there were no humans left you'd be recycled into something else. perhaps some other lifeform on some other planet.
and since the universe has no end and no beginning this process goes on forever.

Wasn't that the whole purpose of Nietzsche's work? I discovered all of this afterwards. But what happened me was:
>Conclude that God doesn't exist.
>Energy, Vibes, signs, the universe talking to me is all bullshit.
>Therefore concluded that i should enjoy myself and be a bit of a hedonist.
>realise hedonism fills me with guilt, depression, unfulfillment and made me all round like shit.
>realised i feel good when I tell the truth, nice, clean living and pursuing rewarding hobbies.
>realised I needed to stay on track for clean living by reminded myself, have a little 3 sentence, reminder of who I want to be on by desk. Read it in the morning and evening
>have a though loop breaker on my phone, to remind myself of who I want to be and to stay away from bad shit.
>realised its all very wordy, so bought a wolf headed copper bangle to represent the principles I live by.
>realised I basically made a 'prayer' with an 'Icon'. Now undertaking what the whole point of religion was in the first place.

I believe religious were philosophers. Understood everything I just said, wanted to push their views of clean living. Used metaphors and fables to make their point. All lost in translation and people took it literally and made it into a religion.
