The Personal Views of Irreligious People (Atheist, Agn. Theist. and Phylosophy foll.)

[Graywolf]

For being the last atheism thread shut down while heated debates continue i wanted the see personal opinions of irreligious users about goal of life, death and morality like subjects. In the previous thread some users ideas really surprised me. I want to observe also other POVs. I dont want monotheistic believers (judaism,christianity,islam and all derivates of these) to intervene because i want to debate with people who already know these religions are faulty.(and also if i wanted to be preached i would listen to my father not you) But pagans, confucianists , spiritualists etc are welcome.
!!! This topic is only for irreligious people please do not spam the thread like last time!!!

About my personal thoughts on some topics: I dont believe any kind of power or controller exist. Also there aint creator. I am not worried abou afterlife cause i was not worried about to exist when i was non existent. About morality atheisms often related to communism, leftism and hippi kind lifesyle. I am a free market supporter and anti-commie person. And I have some authoritarian instincts. I think politics must be full seperated from religion.

I believe that there is no higher being, nor any kind of conscious existence after death.

But I don't rule it out either, I just think that these things exist or not, it doesn't affect anything in my life.

For the rest, I try to act with principles, which I would describe more as ethical principles, than moral ones. But I do not rule out ethical rules based on religious morality, if I believe they are valid.

Basically I try not to treat others, as I would not like them to treat me or those I love.

Don't give a fuck who believes to what, it's your personal thing, it's like I would be mad for someone liking yellow pineapple... Irelligious or Religious it's your own belief.

I assume you are asking about my private take on these.

1. Goal of Life
I don't think there is one single goal in life, at least for me. Life is a journey and not a destination.
I have many small goals like extend my understanding of the world, experience the world, contemplete nature and universe.

2. Death
Death is basically the end of the journey called life. Coming back to what I was before I was conceived.
I guess there is nothing after death but I can never be sure. Maybe there is some reincarnation or afterlife.
I don't reject these possibilities.

3. Morality
I guess you are asking what is the source of morality if there is no God/gods. Is that correct?
Well. For me it is my inner empathy. I just imagine being in someone's shoes.
I am such a person that wouldn't hurt a fly. Because I can imagine myself being this fly.

PS: I don't know if there is no God. I don't know if religions are faulty.

Easy. I didnt blame anyone to think something odd for me. Where did you come up with this? Actually what are you talking about?

For a ship without a destination, any course is good.

Title of thread says Personal views of irreligious people, I'm answering the thread, I didn't even read what you had to say since I don't read anything that is longer than 2-3 sentences.

I wouldn't say any. Of course I have a set of short term and long term goals + a set of principles.
I have my dreams but I cannot say there is one single goal in life.
So I would compare this to navigating the waters, visiting many destinations and avoiding obstacles.

I consider myself to be agnostic which implies being open to all sorts of possibilities regarding this universe, death, god, etc but at the same time I viewed religions as man-made. I don't think one religion possesses the truth while the others don't. I also think the way religions tend to describe our universe and its "creator" is way too "childish", simplistic. The concept of a God punishing humans with fire or reward them with superficial pleasures doesn't make sense to me. If there is something behind all of this, it's surely way way more complex and mindblowing than what we might think. Moreover I've always had a very rational/scientific mind, I can't really deal with superstitions or beliefs/faith, I need empirical facts.

As for the meaning of life, I don't think there is any of it, life is absurd by essence (That's what I think for the moment) which might be disturbing for smart animals like us. Therefore I think we have to cope with it and create our own goals, in my case it's thirst for knowledge that keeps me alive lol.
