Why Atheism and Secular Humanism are Failed Philosophies

[Angrboda]

I apologize for the scary visuals.

Well...don't apologize.

I mean - I lived through it.

Let's not go overboard here.

If going overboard on thesummerqueen is in the offing, well sign me the fuck up.

Whoa, I'm also gonna live forever? This day just keeps getting better and better.

When I was in the fifth grade, in one of those typical "feel good" moves, they asked us what our main goal in life was, or some such. Being up-to-date on gerontology and the conjectures of the time about life extension, I figured that by the time I was old, they might extend my life a span of years, and during that span some more, and so on. So I answered that I wanted to live forever. I think I got a "D" on it.

I want my happy chip!!!

Exactly! Note the pessimism involved. If they can implant such a chip, maybe they can implant one which amplifies our desire to do the right thing, so we're more likely to act morally. Or a chip, which, when our thinking displays the characteristics of cognitive bias or illusion draws our attention to the fact and diagrams our error for us? And imagine the potential for remedying mental illnesses and just plain neurosis. Such a chip could provide us access to any amount of factual data at the mere wanting of it — banish ignorance forever — what's the potential there? Or a chip which mutes our awareness when pain or distress exceeds a certain threshold? As the Arizona Atheist remarked about Vox Day's thought's on science's responsibility for global warming, yes, science creates the potential for harm, but it also offers the potential for solutions, too — and you better believe mumbling Latin liturgies each Sunday is not going to do so.
