Youtube comments: the single most compelling justification for aliens to wipe out humanity.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yeah, what utter drivel. Strawman garbage. A strawman made out of garbage smelly straw. More binary religious thinking. Either goddidit or nothing means anything. Pah!
Small point: we don't even know the universe came into existence at all. It might have just always existed in some form, with there never having been a state of "nothing".

Besides, has anyone ever successfully argued that Gods can give things meaning?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I've never heard an answer to that!
I hear, "Without God, there is no meaning."
Turning that around, with God, there is apparently meaning... but what meaning? No one will tell me.
To me, this life being a test where God sees if I'm worthy of joining his exclusive club by means of bizarre rules transmitted in the most ludicrous way possible makes this life lose all meaning. Without God, and without an afterlife, this life has ultimate meaning. It's all there is. If you add an infinite afterlife, this life drops to negligible importance except passing the test. So it appears to be arse backwards.

Looks like the guy is just being a troll. We get those sometimes on this board.

This is off topic but you just reminded me of something and I can't resist. I was reading the comments on a blog post somewhere - it might even have been Pharyngula - and for some reason the mention of druids came up. Somebody had said some inaccurate things about them or something. Anyway, another commenter corrected them and posted a link to a scholarly article, which turned out to be broken - causing one genius to remark: "These aren't the druids you're looking for."
