The only thing that is pompous and arrogant, NooContact, is claiming that your religion somehow owns free will as a concept. The concept of free will was around long before your religion, and you should stop projecting your negative qualities onto others. |

If you seriously think the way this post indicates, I feel sorry for you. I take the opposite position. Sure, you can't prove that there is no god, but you also can't prove that there are no unicorns. Ultimately, instead of wasting my life worshiping some being or beings that might not exist and hoping that my conscious being will carry on in some afterlife )which is unlikely since the thing responsible for my consciousness, my brain, will rot away), I choose to enjoy my life, which isn't puny at all. I'll build friendships and other relationships, and enjoy them. I'll try as hard as I can to make the relatively short lives of others happy. It's all about how you perceive things, and I don't think having only one life, however short it may seem, is pathetic. It's what you make of it. What is pathetic is being so negative that you choose to believe in some unfalsifiable deity not out of any sort of faith, but to give your life meaning and give you hope for some afterlife, instead of giving your life it's own meaning. |
