No you are not an atheist you are a feelfag. You feel the urge to feel vast but all points lead to death so you keep spouting the conclusion while trying to deny the thrill of finding a new answer
>>42411031Enter Camus.The Absurd conflict is apparent to all those who feel it. Acknowledging that conflict, embracing it thereby, allows the atheist to transform from the constant feel and subsequent denial phase into actual self-determination and individual ascent.>absurdmysticism
>>42411084I don't believe Camus, but I think that what he says makes more sense in this light: the world is rationally ordered; however, humans have irrational desires with a limited capacity for reason. Any plans that we make are ultimately part of this universal logos, but the outcomes we make are so distinct from our intents and hopes that our mental model of the world becomes an absurdity. So again, it's not that the world is meaningless and we have to find it, or commit suicide, but that it is meaningful, but our own decisions are meaningless in an objective sense. It doesn't matter what you do, it has been determined, but the feeling of agency in this world is at the heart of our self esteem and love of life, and so the illusion of non-contingent power, even though that is an absurdity, is what drives us. Strip that away, and none of what we do makes sense.
>>42411135*I don't agree with Camus
>>42411135That's exactly his point, none of what we do makes sense. His philosophy was meant to reconcile the fact that, after God, objective reality was sure to follow in destruction. An objective reality does not exist, and what reality we do have is certainly not rational nor ordered. You are right in saying that humans have irrational desires and a limited capacity for reason, which amplifies this disparity from order and rationality. That's the absurdity: that, one, we cannot claim anything with absolute definition. By the very fact that you would say that the world is indeed rational and objective, it plays into part the second aspect that, two, we sorely need to claim something with absolute definition.The sooner this is accepted, the sooner one becomes one, as themselves, with the Universal Ethos in philosophical ascent.
>>42411031Thanks for the lame armchair psychoanalysis. Anyways, you're a man child so afraid of your own mortality you need to confirm bullshit like an "afterlife" to feel good about yourself. You're a coward afraid of the truth.
>>42411259 Nothingness is a I don't know
>>42411031We call this "projection".
>>42411031What is it about atheism that upsets people so much? Like the very existence of an atheist is an unacceptable blight on your world. It's not okay for you to act like that, and if god does exist, he probably wouldn't want you acting like such a cock to people.
>>42411528It goes both ways.
>>42411031Atheists mock God in an attempt to get him to return. Their anger and resentment betray their confidence on the topic. They're not mad at anyone that worships Zorgo the lake monster, just followers fo Christ.
