Imagine If You were the Only Person Left on Earth
November 21, 2015 at 9:58 am
As atheists, we don’t believe in magic or fairy tales, but that doesn’t mean we have no imagination.
Now, imagine, if you woke up one morning and found you’re the only person left on Earth, how many of your current problems would be solved? What new problems would you have? Who would you be glad to see gone? Sad?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Would I suspect that I might be the last person, on earth or would I know this with 100% certainty? It would make the difference in deciding whether to bite the bullet or not.

Well pretty much most Human problems would be solved, but I would be devastated for not being with those I love.

I'd probably cry for a week for everyone I knew, then be happy the rest of my life that I don't have to deal with anyone's bullshit anymore.
Just a week.

I would probably become really sad and depressed. I'm more of a shy person but that doesn't mean I don't like having people around me. Being alone all the time sucks even for introverted people. A lot of bad people would be gone that way but I haven't personally met anyone I hate so I wouldn't have anything to celebrate myself.

Ah, there's the rub (gee, didn't even realize that would be a pun. Not intended but still...)
