"Pessimism" is insisting that we have to cling to social norms otherwise the world will come to a violent end.
"Skepticism" is POSITIVE, not negative.
I think ur confused about the definition of skeptic
"doubt as to the truth of something" Oxford dictionary
"an attitude that shows you doubt wheather something is true or useful" Cambridge dictionary
Skepticism is a negative that is similar to pessimism
"A tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen" Oxford dictionary
"feeling that bad things are more likely to happen rather than good things" Cambridge dictionary
Optamistic is listed as an antonym of pessimistic.
I cannot find your definition of pessimism anywhere B37. I advise u confirm ur definitions. Don't use google. Oxford and Cambridge are the best in my opinion
Anyway B37. I don't understand. How u can be hostile to me when I actually agree with ur theory and articulated it in the most positive way i could.
Empathy? Did u even read my reply to ur post? On page 3 of this thread? None of this addresses my reply to u on page 3. I haven't a clue what ur talking about here.
Go to page 3 and read my response to ur post. People may as well start trolling u seeing u have the same theory as me.
Wyzas also agrees with me us. But heaps of young kids here who are closed for discussion, rejecting the theories of fellow atheists. LoL
I was never hostile to u B37. In fact i was never hostile to anyone despite being trolled by everyone I remained civil.
I never used foul language and i never insulted anyone, I didn't lie about my position or anything. So I don't know. People here are affraid of opinions
If ur still this closed minded after reading my post i'll have no choice but to pull the pin on this forum leaving with a very low view of atheists. Extremely dogmatic
