The Ultimate Why There Is Evil in the World Thread.

[AFTT47]

The theist needs to prove that creating a universe is better than not creating one.

I assume your life is not without its share of suffering. Does that mean that you would prefer never having been born? Or now that you do exist, in what you consider a crapsack world, will you accelerate your own demise? I doubt that very much.

I can't answer for Pyrrho but for myself, YES, I would have preferred not to have been born. It's not that I'm miserable but there is more strife than desirable things. And I have a death sentence. Life would be worth it if I had time to self-evolve into something greater but I don't have that option because of our pathetic lifespan. So why don't I just kill myself? Because I have a hard-wired fear of death.

I didn't ask to be born. I didn't hard-wire myself to fear death. I don't know about you but the world I find myself in sure as hell isn't optimal for me. It could be a lot better. I just make the best of what I have because what else can I do?
