An alternative to atheist thought

RE: An alternative to atheist thought
Cosmos baby.

Physics ain't easy and certainty is for fools to claim to understand life, the universe and everything.

It's okay to say I don't know, or I don't understand.

WTF is non-material?

Our consciousness is an emergent property of a physical brain. Electro chemical activity. Post mortem nada.

Makes me happy coz I can enjoy being a decent human being and not worry about the unsaved portion of my skepticism.

Death is an earlier form of the heat death of the universe.

Entropy baby, no bullshit required.

Have fun and try to be decent.
It really makes no difference whether or not consciousness is material or non-material. It very well could be a purely material thing, but we have it. That's what I'm talking about: our human experience, our life experience, what is in our minds, in our memories, our thoughts, our desires; ours and also other people's, in fact everybody, everywhere, including all other forms of life.

When somebody we love loves us back we are happy; that experience of happiness, whether material or spiritual, matters to me and to most people. When injustices are committed against people they suffer; that experience of suffering matters, whether material or spiritual. That's what I am trying to explain. There is a reason why the world is the way it is. I called it the Source, you call it Energy and Matter. The name does not matter. Our experience as human beings, and I maintain also that all other life forms are just as important, matters. Hey, but if it does not matter to some people, that's OK.

I agree that life matters. I am a a life long old fart, anti-fascist ambulance driving vegetarian. I just don't ascribe agency or purpose to life.
