I will become Atheist if.....

[Aegon]

What equation!? What are you talking about?! Lol

lol you said equation, so I just re-worded your metaphor.

All you have to do is justify value of a human being from an Atheistic framework. Yes I know Atheist value human beings. But I'm asking you to justify value itself.

My point is that it's self-evident. We hold value because we exist, and are alive, and feel anger and happiness and pain and sorrow and displacement and family and love and hate, and we are born and we die and all there is is what's in the middle. Our lives are spent impacting other lives. We are complex beings who crave meaning and belonging. Our existence is justification of our value. That's it. I can't make it simpler than that. For some reason you think it must be further complicated. In your eyes you can't see why I would see value in things without God. And I think that is incredibly sad. I think you should drop your beliefs and learn to see and cherish the value in things without it. Learn to see deeper meaning in the material. Because if your belief in God is the only reason anything holds value or meaning... then that isn't real, and you cannot be truly happy. From my perspective, anyway. I think I recall telling you this a month or two ago, MK. You have to find meaning within yourself and the nature around you without God, or you will be stuck in this rut of yours forever, never feeling true bliss. I know you've had issues with this from your past posts. I'm not asking you to abandon your faith, but rather put it in the backseat for a while. Once you feel comfortable looking at things from this atheist's perspective, like I've been outlining to you, then return to it. I think you will be more at peace.

But I'm just some idiot on a forum. Who knows if what I'm saying holds any merit.
