Your view on Existentialism as a philosophy

[Thumpalumpacus]

Philosophy can be fun, but at the end of the day it's still just an exercise of the imagination.

At the end of the day, all masturbation is mental. Philosophers simply insert an extra, and extraneous, layer.

Existentialism seems to be a theoretical philosophical framework built around a common psychological experience, but in terms of actionable ideas it comes up a bit weak. Stoicism is where the useful stuff can be found, IMO.

About as stoic as I get is RBF.

That's certainly where I've landed -- shit happens, deal with it.

The Stoics' views on God are really interesting. They are far closer to the classical theology of someone like Augustine, rather than like modern Protestants. 

the Stoics make God a corporeal entity, identical with the active principle. God is further characterized as eternal reason (logos: Diogenes Laertius, 44B) or intelligent designing fire or breath (pneuma) which structures matter in accordance with its plan (Aetius, 46A). The Stoic God is thus immanent throughout the cosmos and directs its development down to the smallest detail. The entire cosmos is a living thing, and God stands to the cosmos as an animal’s life force stands to the animal’s body, enlivening, moving and directing it by its presence throughout. The designing fire is likened to sperm or seed which contains the first principles or directions of all the things which will subsequently develop (Diogenes Laertius, 46B; Aristocles in Eusebius, 46G). This makes cosmic nature and all its parts inherently governed by a rational force. God and divine actions are not, like the gods of Greek Mythology, random and unpredictable. It is rather orderly, rational, and providential. The association of God with pneuma may have its origins in medical theories of the Hellenistic period

Søren Kierkegaard is said to be the father of it. But he is kinda forgotten about...

The finest legacy that an Existentialist could hope for.

Not what is life good for but what is a good life?

[Angrboda]

I am not sufficiently well-informed to have an opinion.

[Jackalope]

I am not particularly well read in philosophy but from what I have gathered, I subscribe more to Absurdism, though as others have said, in practice I am tending to Stoicism, occasionally successfully.

Philosophically I'm Taoist and Hindu. Not in the existence precedes essence camp.
