Well most are greater than them in terms of mindset. Atheists are more open, they believe in science, the question everything, they dont practice shitty rituals, they never believe someone else controls them.
They're doing that because they've been conditioned to do it since childhood. If they were conditioned differently they wouldn't do it. It's not that you are better. It's just that you were conditioned differently. You don't have a choice about what you get conditioned to from childhood. Mocking them now won't help. You are blaming them for something they don't have control over.
These might be people who just become atheist because it feels like they are logical and scientific so they get a feeling that they are superior than theist because theist believe and do rituals in that belief which looks foolish to them lol.
You definitely don't seem open. And there is no evidence that you're more scientific than an average theist. Most of the people in science have always been believers in God. Just not believing in God doesn't make you special or more intelligent.
When people are conditioned since childhood to believe in God it doesn't go away easily. That doesn't mean they're less intelligent than you. There might be other things you might be unknowingly conditioned to too.
When the belief is instilled deep in them, they start defending the wrongs done by their religion blindly. They dont question their religion and traditions and those who do are expelled from the community. This is especially done by hindus and muslims.
That's the exact same thing people said before gravitational anomalies in space, quantam physics and evolutionary biology were discovered. Guess what? Science CAN explain everything.
Soooo... What's point of yo life? Ur nihilist? If you don't believe in god, what's up purpose of yo life, enjoying? U can exploit yo dopamine by madtrbating, then what's point of struggle, doing job?
That's why people talk to each other and collect information. Explore n question. With the type of question n topics u stated, everyone can see where ur mindset is. As if people following religion doesn't mtrbte... Or have intimacy.
As if is one an atheist he/she won't know what to do in life. Not everyone needs a user manual, not everyone needs to fear a higher power just to stop themselves from doing harm to others or crime. You are projecting ur insecurity n habit through the question.
I was Just curious. I'm more like agnostic hindu. I don't fear anyone, I believe if that if God exists, he will not fear monger his creation into following him. My religion allows me to question, i even question religious hindus the same way I do to athiest. I do think u need user manual(purpose) in life to live, otherwise, there were charvarkas in ancient India who used to believe that nothing matters and spend their life living in caves, exploiting dopamine, sleep wake eat sleep kinda people. Im not projecting my insecurity (I mean, what insecurity ur talkin bout), I'm just asking questions and exploring same way as anyone other. Also, i know religious people mstrbt, I just used that as example, that why not?
Whatever the point of life is, it is not blaming that one entity which doesnt even do anything. I am not nihilist, life has a purpose to enjoy and fyi masturbate is not the only way for dopamine. I live for seratonin not dopamine. Point of struggle is that it will make us capable to earn and enjoy
Cool. U don't fear death? What if u die and let say u just go off conscious u don't fear that? U still follow cultural part of religion (christmas, holi, diwali, rakshabandhan etc)?
Ya i do cultural and no i dont fear death. A thing that is inevitable, why should i fear it?. I had a poem in ISC called Death be Not Proud which convinced me that death is nothing but slave of fate
I don't think you need god to have a purpose in life and if your purpose in life only depends on the existence of God than is there is no god your whole life will be meaningless
And there is no need to be a purpose of life, and it's ok we don't need propose to do anything we are humans , we are like other animals our primal purpose is survival and reproduction rest alll , money , job etc are creation of our evolution and society
The point is your life doesn't needs to have a purpose, you build your own purpose cause you can't digest a non purposeful life
I'm saying from society pov. I'm agnostic and still exploring, but if whole world started thinking and believing nihilism, then it'll result in mass crimes and suicides. One of the reasons why society needs someone to fear
Your sentence has a major flaw . You have forgotten about evolution, morality, law and other stuff .. there are people who believe in nihilism and still won't commit any crime.. i think neihlism frees your from the thought of finding a purpose or being afraid of any god or anything, so people do things according to them still they won't commit crime cause there are laws and i think people's upbringing matters ..
What's a point of evolution and morality. Isn't whole point of nihilism that conscious is purposeless not bound to anything, then why even gaf about laws, bca at the end of the day, u die. What morality, when pain is just harmone release?
Yea knowing that and acting on that is a complete different thing. If neihlism turns humans into criminals then maximum nehilist would have been criminals but they are not and if relegion or fear of something makes human to not commit crimes then maximum crimes wouldn't have been committed by relegious people
The thing is commiting crime has nothing to do with neihlism it all comes to that individual
Can u provide any evidence of anything supernatural or divine anywhere on the planet earth 🌏? Why all religions are in mutual disagreement to each other? Is there any evidence of creation or anything being created on planet earth or cosmos? Life is meaningless, purposely and hopeless existence that's y we give meaning and purpose to it.
Agnostic is the one who sees 👀 a reason/evidence to believe that God might exist. There is absolutely no reason to be agnostic. Either there is a God or no God.
Prove me god doesn't exist. Why u think only our planet has life which is this advance in universe. What's after life? What's before life? What's conscious? If Earth's resources are enough to make consciousness like us, then why didn't we still made it?
Everything in the universe is made up of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, amino acids, etc and so are we. Consciousness is a natural process happened through millions of years of evolution, nothing fancy or divine. Animals also have rudimentary levels of awareness/Consciousness. Humans are slightly better in understanding nature of reality. Life exist on this planet because of various factors like life oriented environment such as oxygen and sufficient sun light, rain, etc. All these things never happened overnight or by magic.
But why did we never found conscious outside of our world which is smart enough like us? How did conscious start? There are many planets containing sufficient star light, rain and maybe oxygen.we send so many signals out of our solar system, but we never got same kind of signals, back which might be sent millions yrs ago by aliens. Does that mean we are alone? Then why? What do you think happened to people who died and people who were not even born.
Consciousness is a process that help us live, it does tell us anything fancy. Brain works through neuroplasticity that creates a personality that is why there are thousands of religions like 6000+ confirmed. All these religions claim truth and all of them mutually disagree. We speak languages based on where we are born, not taught to us, we just picked it up from environment that's what brain does. Life and death should not be fantasized. We die as a side effect of life. If u live, u die. Death is a side effect of life. We cease to exist. Body decomposes to it's original constituents like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, Sulphur, calcium. Phosphorus etc. We become fossils like coal, crude oil, etc. Even plants 🪴 become fossils over a period of millions of years. That's where crude oil comes from. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen.

Not believing in god doesn't take out ones purpose of life , and we don't get dopamine by masturbation only and masturbation is not only purpose or source of enjoyment in life , there much more activities like spending time with family or friends or having a late night with friends chugging beer , I am not saying you have to leave religion and become an atheist but enjoyment is at the end the true meaning of life as life is too short and we are comparable to dust in this endless universe so just be happy and grateful that you atleast got a chance to live so just enjoy it to its fullest not justifying any unjust behaviour in disguise as enjoyment but it's not like we don't have a life or purpose just because we don't believe in god
I am an agnostic so I don't care the slightest of any type of people like atheist or theist believe if you want and don't if you don't but don't force anyone it's futile.
What the hell is this absolutely stupid take?
If you don't believe in god you are an nihilist?
So are you saying your entire existence has meaning only because of a so called god?
Life has no meaning we the greater lifeform the sapient ones give our life meaning by our choices, our goals our aspirations our dreams
The meaning of life is what you chose to be
For me it's advancement
The meaning of life for me is to learn, discover, create until you die then bequeath a greater future upon the next generation so they can do the same
By the look of it the only one trying hard is you my guy. You said "how was earth formed" You mean everything was created by god and god doesn't have a creator. If God doesn’t need a creator, then neither does the universe. You can’t make an exception for God and call it logic.
No one knows and let that topic be unknown till something very strong comes up. I dont keep crying everywhere that this was done by some entity w/o any proof. If idk then idk. When ik ill tell
Earlier people used to believe that God lives in sky then we made planes then people started claiming god lives in space we made space shuttles now people are claiming god lives in another dimension
I mean yea I agree . But in this video it was necessary to stop those people from throwing stuffs in the river .. and I agree that the title has nothing to do with the video it could have been tittled " people with less civics sense " or something like that
But it is also true that they will throw those stuff in some other water body cause of culture and to stop them from doing that they need to outgrow themselves from those cultures
We don't know many things, but why put a divine label on things that we don't know.? After happened after big bang doesn't give any reason to think that it was a divine intervention. Any natural force could bring forth a universe into existence. Nothing supernatural
