RE: life is too short for me !
Worry about the afterlife when you're dead. And in the likely event that it isn't there, you won't.
This is stupid

I disagree. Try having a conversation with Rhythm on vegetarianism!

I imagine that would be just as bad as eating nothing but fucking vegetables.

And then get the wrong answer.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

That extract from Aaron Freeman is beautiful because its true.

We are observers, witnesses to the dazzling displays of cosmic marvels far out there and deep within us. Our energy "prevails death" for it continues to be true in modern physics that Matter/Mass and Energy are all truly indestructible in that they cannot be created or destroyed.

The amazing revelation we learn when we're young that "we", (humans) are physically forms and arrangements of the universe's countless incalculable interactions as its atoms come into "us", join and form part of "us", and leave "us" for new exchanging atoms, strips away our individuality and replaces it with feelings and connections of oneness with reality that surpass silly religious notions of "Divinity".

The very real human feeling of awe we experience when confronted, overwhelmed and swallowed up by the complexity of nature, is far greater and colourful than any empty feeling of reverence for a fictional black-and-white creator god character.

What makes you think it is a chaotic place, many scientist say it is well organized and by what little I've seen, I would agree. God who created it, saw it come to life and has enjoyed it ever since.
You only love and tolerate the cosmos because you think your personal god created it?

That's very depressing. With that shallow mindset and egocentric world-view its a wonder you see the real beauty in anything at all. Well, its your prerogative to view the demonstrably-real and wondrously complex universe with narrow-minded contempt or indifference.

Have fun with that.

Like quitting smoking and drinking, vegetarianism doesn't make you live longer, it just makes the tedium feel longer.

Why does the other guy’s perspective always have to be shallow and pathetic? Not everything must be either/or. Some things could be both/and. The physical universe can be wonderful and complex without diminishing the rich and profound meanings found in it.

I can only imagine how hard that must be for you.Obviously being so deep and wise is just a cross you must bear.
