Atheists: Facing the unfaceable
#85
RE: Atheists: Facing the unfaceable
Ah, the good ol' no-god-equals-nihilism routine, only this one has an afterlife twist.

You do realize that the legacy people leave behind is not simply for their own benefit? Despite what you've been lead to believe, Lek, god isn't necessary to value human life, and clearly, believing doesn't necessarily mean you do, either.

It's amazing that theists are always harping that free will ruined the Earth but somehow that free will doesn't give you the power to value things as you see fit. Meaning can be created by any sentient being, not just the invisible magic ones.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
