Why do you even have ideals?

You could, but then at the very least you're here to argue in truth that everyone's purpose is pointless

Why has your biology allowed you to realise that there's no more purpose than it?

I was just curious. Every Objectivist I've argued against has been impossible to argue against!!! Each has arrived at some conclusion, and therefore thinks that their conclusion is logical.

I never understand people arguing with purpose to argue that they have no real purpose! It's illogical. Hence I'm not an atheist. I don't have enough faith to be one...

As British biologist J. B. S. Haldane wrote in 1927, "If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose my beliefs are true . . . and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms."

Montalban, are you trying to argue that only stasis can be considered relevant, because things mustn't change or transform? :scratch head:

I must confess that I don't quite understand your perspective. If life was eternal rather than finite, then every single moment would be completely meaningless in relation to infinity.

Agreed, thankyou Wicked Willow.

Also, it's nice to get a pagan in on this discussion. I must admit I don't know much about the pagan world view, and I look forward to reading your posts

Oh, there is no such thing as THE pagan world view (although fluff bunny wiccans might disagree with me on that, being fluff bunnies).

I don't actually have any questions with regards to atheism, seeing how the term emcompasses almost as many different world views as the term "theism". (Plus, I'm a fairly unorthodox theist myself, having MUCH more in common with atheists than with most other "believers".)

Hi Reality Pixie,
"The only thing I ask from you is that if you provide a quote, statistic or any other information that is not your own thought,"

Most of my thoughts are based on my prior experience. Now every once in a while I like to think I have a "flash of originality" but as I get older, sadly, they seem to come fewer and far between. And sometimes, when I think I am having a fresh thought, I subsequently realize, no I was just traveling down a forgotten rut in my mind. Enjoy youth, and do not waste it trying to fit everything into a philosophy of life.

Some folks, in trying to understand the book of Revelation claim that Babylon refers to false religion, and so it seems God is an atheist of sorts. While this may be a flash of originality, its claim on truth seems more dubious. But it is true that he is against all gods but himself. Sounds atheistic to me. May God bless

Non-sequitur. I'm not arguing from your worldview. It is not my view that only theistic purpose has a point.

Why has your biology allowed you to realise that there's no more purpose than it?
Please stop shifting the goal posts. I do not need to argue such a thing in order to explain how purpose need not be merely a matter of desire for atheists.

I was just curious. Every Objectivist I've argued against has been impossible to argue against!!!
Look in the mirror.

Each has arrived at some conclusion, and therefore thinks that their conclusion is logical.
Are you looking in the mirror yet?

It is trivially true that everyone who strives to be logical believes their conclusions to be a product of logic. This is hardly limited to Objectivists.

You seriously mean to suggest that you think 'hope' is biological?
Yes, I do. Although "psychological" might be a better term, though human psychology is rooted in human biology. Hope is a human psychological ability. I can't imagine why this would be controversial.

Only one? Is this a game of numbers?
Huh? I'm just saying that Christians have invented their own form of hope in which they've imbued Christian significance.

For what purpose?
As I had already written, to achieve a desirable form of life. I.e, to flourish, to achieve eudaimonia.

I never understand people arguing with purpose to argue that they have no real purpose! It's illogical.
Of course it is illogical, which is why I'm not arguing that. I have real purpose, which is to flourish in my finite life.

As British biologist J. B. S. Haldane wrote in 1927, "If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose my beliefs are true . . . and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms."
This is a decent argument to use against reductive materialists. I am not one. Have fun with them.


eudaimonia,

Mark

Hi! I'm RealityPixie and I'm an athiest!

Got a question about atheism? Wanna have a debate? Want to clear some things up about your religion? Or just looking to understand the atheistic world view?

Well here I am, your friendly neighbourhood atheist at your service! I dont claim to be an expert, but it seems there are a few of us floating around, and I'm sure the others will also be happy to help with your questions.

The only thing I ask from you is that if you provide a quote, statistic or any other information that is not your own thought, you must be willing to cite if it is asked of you. You don't have to write it out like a research paper, but if somebody asks where you got your info from you must be willing to supply the source, otherwise such info will be null and void.


Love;

Your friendly neighbourhood spider- I mean atheist
Thank you for your friendly greeting. I'm not attempting to debate. Just a question. What would you tell me if i was steeped in a depression and a forboding sadness because i was just told i have 2 weeks at best to live, because i have an incurable illness that is little understood, and there is no cure for?

In all seriousness, what would you tell me?

I've no idea what stasis is, excepting in regards sci-fi.

I don't argue life is eternal. I don't think I mentioned that. It's good someone agrees with you though... whatever it is you're saying. I don't get it though
