We're still going to die and be forgotten. That's what happens. Does that sour it for you? Must you be permanent and present in mind for all time in order to see any point in drawing breath?
Quote:If we are nothing but a bunch of cells and sperms that had evolved over time, then why must we care and love one another?Are you asking about your own individual motivation, or?
Quote:And no, saying that we need others to survive is not an valid answer.OFC it is, if you're asking for what motivations there are that;s one of them..a cynical one usually referenced as a last resort, but it compells some to cooperate even when they don;t want to for whatever reason.
Quote:I don't care about surviving.Perhaps that's just you? Others might find their desire to survive wholly more compelling.
Quote:If life's is just about surviving, then that means we should only care about ourselves and nothing else. So that means that hospitals and medicine and things like that should not exist. Nothing in ever matters so we might as well die and not exist since nothing we ever do as humans will accomplish a single thing. So why bother?You provided one answer to that question in asking it. Self interest. I would hope it;s at the bottom of anyone's list as to what the point of life or why they love anyone...but it's there.
Quote:God does not exist. Heaven does not exist. Spirits don't exist. The only thing that exists is just us in a dark, empty void with a bunch of gases that we call the universe. That's it. So we should need to live a long, happy life since we will just die and soon be forgotten and wither away. Life comes from nothing, death means we become nothing, therefore life itself means absolutely nothing. I hate atheism.People generally use the term "therefore" when some conclusion flows from prior propositions. Yours doesn't......and I;m not sure why it makes you hate atheism, whatever that means. Atheism didn't make the world that way, if that's the way the world is...lol.
