The answer is yes or no.As has been pointed out many times by many people, the answer is not 'yes/no', it's far more complicated than that.
Quote: As for what reply would have been of mine I would answer easily I have control over or govern my life. I decide when I eat, sleep, work, drink, fuck, when I study, agree or disagree with someone else, easy as that.Do you control the culture in which you live? Do you control the government which administrates your nation? Do you control the methodology of the civic water treatment system that describes the chemicals you drink? Do you control the gale-force winds that blew down your garden fence?
Quote: Why you all overcompicate things? Yo are all pussies! Dweebs!Why do you refuse to see that reality actually is far more complicated than the model you have in your head? Is it because you fear questioning some central values? If so, that would make you the pussy.
Quote: Try it againYou already have my answer to that question; a far fuller and more satisfying answer than your question deserves.
If there is no God, then, who governs your life and, in general, the whole order of things in your life?
Even if my answer is to be No it doesn't change the things in general. If you're not satisfied with your life you can put the hands on you, as we speak, jump from the roof, hang yourself, shoot yourself. That's a control and goverment of your own life!
Thus you're getting back to the initial question
If there is no God, then, one may ask, who governs human life and, in general, the whole order of things on earth?
