[quote]Second - what evidence do you have for this? Why should one believe this?[quote] do you seriously believe everything in this world is completely random and there is no god or judgment after you die?
Einfach, why do you care why people believe the things they do? Some people just believe the things they do because they want to believe things. Some people want to believe things because it makes the feel human. Some people want to feel human because they ARE human. Some people are human because they were made as humans. Some people were made as humans because of unknown reasons. You can only ask so many "why" questions without stumbling upon a dead end. You insist on jumping to the dead end for every single thing, knowing the same answer will appear "I don't know why."
ok then let me ask you this: how do you live knowing thinking that this is your only life and that when you die it's all over? arent you afraid that you will just end up in a grave and rot and die?
why do you care why people believe the things they do?
Because perhaps they may have something which I know not. Or maybe their views are unjustified.
Some people just believe the things they do because they want to believe things.
Well - is this not irrational?
Some people want to believe things because it makes the feel human.
And I ask questions because it makes me feel human.
Some people are human because they were made as humans. Some people were made as humans because of unknown reasons. You can only ask so many "why" questions without stumbling upon a dead end.
But then this would prove that their ideas are unfounded.
You insist on jumping to the dead end for every single thing, knowing the same answer will appear "I don't know why."
You compliment me too much. You're likening me to Socrates.
ok then let me ask you this: how do you live knowing thinking that this is your only life and that when you die it's all over? arent you afraid that you will just end up in a grave and rot and die?
I know that i'm going to die and rot in in a grave, and i'm perfectly fine with it... if this is my only life and i live it to the fullest, when i die, i die.
how do you live knowing thinking that this is your only life and that when you die it's all over? arent you afraid that you will just end up in a grave and rot and die?
Because we cannot help but believe what we think is the truth. Belief is not a choice.
I know that i'm going to die and rot in in a grave, and i'm perfectly fine with it... if this is my only life and i live it to the fullest, when i die, i die.
