Absurdism

[BlackUnicorn]

:-)........

Not only does it work for religious views, but it makes good points when applied to political views. Mankind will more than likely never find a political system that makes everyone happy. So ultimately politics is an absurd proposition, but that does not mean we should not try..who knows.. someone may actually succede. Until then Humanity is doomed to bicker and cut each others throats over even some of the smallest differences in politics.

This does not mean I am an anarchist, but being an absurdist makes it very easy for me to just say "fuck it, its not going to work and its all a waste of time" and sometimes I find myself fighting anarchist tendencies because of it. For the most part I am a progressive. If govt MUST exist, it should bring people together for everyones basic benefit and support. From my POV, if govt cant help its citizens, and actually holds them down, then anarchy is much better.

Well under a true anarchist system so long as people kept to their groups and people were allowed to leave those groups and join/create others without persecution or punishment, then the conflict in theory between religion and atheism would not exist as the religious would have no power/control over atheists and atheists no power/control over the religious. But the economic system* poses a problem in this case, as it is more than likely groups would have to interact and trade with each other for survival, so if in a community a religious group gained dominance over trade it could impose its will on other groups, including atheists through simple economics.
