If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all? (reddthat.com)

We spend our days bound by endless obligations. Yet, even with loneliness, failed relationships, and soul-draining work, people still manage to catch a glimpse of happiness. Why?

"YOU assume life has no meaning because it’s an accident. Why does it even HAVE to have a meaning? Why can’t it just be? So your brain can make “sense” of it all? " Look at how much of an idiot you are. Everything we observe in nature nicely follows laws and have a clear design in it. This indicates the presence of an agent with the Will, Power and Knowledge to design. If everything is "just be", then we wouldn't have indulged in any human enterprise like civilisation building or pursuing science. It's all a pursuit of finding meaning. You claim everything is "just be" and have the audacity to accuse people searching for answers of being "weak"!! You seem someone who thinks too highly of himself to realise his utter stupidity.

As you already went to ad hominem (as expected) And also seem to ignore what I said and rather see what you want to see, because your religious delusion only allows you to do that, I retreat from this "discussion".

If I learned one thing in life, it's to never discuss anything with cult-followers. They're all too far gone to even dare to look beyond their horizon. They prefer the comfy "truth" over the uncomfy reality.

Oh and I never claimed it "just is". I don't have enough data to even form a theory. i just asked "what if". But you already have all answers to everything, so why bother.

So go back now to being a wage-slave to those who own you. Fulfill your cosmic destiny. This is what your master demands of you.

"If I learned one thing in life, it’s to never discuss anything with cult-followers." Then why are you here?

"Oh and I never claimed it “just is”. I don’t have enough data to even form a theory." Do you see how stupidly contradictory you are?

"So go back now to being a wage-slave to those who own you. Fulfill your cosmic destiny. This is what your master demands of you." Again, no substance but just personal attacks against people you have never met. I mean you have all the hallmarks of being cultish.

"I don’t work, I travel, I live every hobby that fills me with joy" Joy? You come to pick fights with people who have nothing to do with you, to feel better.

Why are you still here? Don't you have prayers to pray or thoughts to suppress? Be a good obedient puppy, you'd never be one of those who managed to quit your cult.
