- Who cares for us?



My question is; how do you, as an atheist, answer these questions?

Biologically to make other humans. As an intelligent species, to make what we can of our existence.

Our species and the planet that birthed us.

Our family and friends. And if you believe god cares for us, you haven't read the bible.

No god required.

- How come we are here?  To live the best life we can

- Who should we serve? FSM

- Who cares for us? In general other humans on a grander scale FSM



My question is;  how do you, as an atheist, answer these questions? As a pastafarian I just have, Can't speak for them thou.

Mine in bold. Question to you; How long did you work on these troll questions and how committed are you to your character?

- Howcome we are here?
Where else could we be, besides here ?

- Who should we serve?
Why should I serve anyone ?

- Who cares for us?
Those with empathy & compassion care for us.

If I answered all these questions with the word Gleb.
Would that word provide an answer ?

Because the word god doesn't provide an answer to any question.

I'm quite confused about what is taken for jokes around here.

No problem.

Ah, the joys of the internet and the International discourse it brings/allows. Big Grin

I reckon the style of humour is pretty broad around this site. Smile

Wait? What was the question again? Wink
