My anti-theistic perspective

[Edwardo Piet]

Things matter.

That seems rather illogical to me.  

Emotional and unreasonable, in fact.

Things matter subjectively to subjective subjects. Seems more true by definition than illogical to me.

Yes, emotional, that's my point. The very feeling of anything being "meaningful" or "mattering" or being "valuable" only exists because of emotional subjectivity which only exists because of conscious individuals with emotions.

I think it's unreasonable or, rather, lacking reason to on the one hand claim that nothing matters and then on the other hand say that we are unimportant compared to the universe. If nothing matters then surely we are just as important as the universe: Namely a zero degree of importance.
