Question for atheists:

1, How do you give meaning to your life?
2. How do you accept death?
3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?

This is entirely out of good will, I do not hate atheists whatsoever.
>>
1. I don't. Life has no meaning.
2. I don't think about it too much.
3. No idea.
4. I don't even know what that is.

Point me to a church that doesn't embrace multicultural "harmony" and I will join it straight away. Morals and loyalty are at an all time low, and I want to be a part of the solution.

It's not for me to pursuade you in any way, but I'm not part of any church myself because I think they're liberalized too much to my liking, it's a totally acceptable feeling to have and I know many Christians who feel the same way.

Nobody's life has meaning unless you create it for yourself

Death is what it is, accepting it or not doesn't matter

Morality exists without religion

Some are good, some are not so good

You really shouldn't end your life friend, do you need someone to talk to?

If it's any help, I have attempted suicide myself and have walked it off and I am now a happier person despite the fact that I will always be a social outcast with little to no friends or family to love me.

1. I think it's a human problem to look for a meaning to life. It's just a random occurance and I enjoy the chance to experience it, regardless of how fucked this world is at the CURRENT YEAR.

2.) I believe death will be the same as before I was born.

3. ) The only way people can live happily is if we let people live together in groups of like minded individuals.

4. ) I have no stance. I believe that people should follow whatever makes them feel the best about life.

1. Life has no meaning but to expierence it. The scientific meaning of life is to reproduce
2. You don't have a choice. If you die, "YOU" die and you won't even notice because there will be no "you" left. Perhaps our consciousness merges with an objective consciousness that is connected to all forms of life. Maybe we are reincarnated. None of this is proven so I don't care
3. Morality can taught through logic. People need to be educated and spend more time serving the community, or spend more time in nature
4. Judeo Christian values are good. They have been tailored for thousands of years to benefit civilization. The beatitudes are a good moral guide. I would remove the "do good things because that's what God would want you to do" part out and replace the Christian guilt or fear of God with logical applications. "Don't kill people or set buildings on fire because it harms society or how would you like to be killed?"

>even if this quote is fabricated it's still good advice

My motto in life is do no harm.
I don't eat meat because I feel bad for animals raised in captivity

>>78179688
You make your life have meaning. Don't need some 2000+ year old book to do that for you.

Counterpoint, how do you feel about the gnawing fear inside you that your precious heaven might not be real, or the heaven of a completely different religion might be real and you're not getting in it? And don't weasel your way out, we all have doubts at some point.

Morality begets religion, not the other way around, and Christianity is hardly destroyed. It's just lost the special status for the most part.

The "values" that actually promote common decency I like, the sanctimonious "holier than though" condemnation of anything deemed wrong, not so much.

That being said, I'd take a moderate christian country over Islam or a communist country any fucking day.

By living my life to its fullest
>2. How do you accept death?
All that begins must also one day end
>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
"Society" shouldn't do anything. It's the responsibility of parents to raise children that will make this world a better place
>4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
I acknowledge that things like The Golden Rule, loving your neighbor, honoring your mother and father, etc. Do still have their place in the world, however, taking the Bible/Koran/Torah literally is silly.
If the belief of a magic skydaddy and afterlife comfort you, great, just don't push it down my throat.

>1, How do you give meaning to your life?
The point of life is finding the questions to ask. There is no one grand point of life.

Death, it's nothingness. I think of it as sleeping without dreaming. Imagine that and it'll be easier to accept.
>3. What should society do to fill the moral
decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
Society? Like my neighborhood? 4chan? The people in my "Society" are fucking hand-picked. I do not waste my time on people I do not consider in-group.

1. How do you give meaning to your life.
It is impossible to determine whether or not there is a meaning to life. (See. absurdism and the human impossibility to determine an inherent meaning to life)

I don't plan on giving meaning to my life because I'm not scared of not knowing the answers to these questions. I'm not an existentialist wherefore I will guess or try to arbitrarily set a "standard" inherent value. It's okay to not know whether or not there is any meaning to life and I can appreciate the complexity of the question and the fact that such a question was never meant to be answered but to be considered.

2. How do you accept death?
I'm not sure. I'll cross that bridge. I'm not about to give some phony philosophical speech that I haven't really internalized but I do believe that death is a part of life. It's like getting your teeth pulled out, you just gotta do it.

3. >Moral decay
The idea that morals come from religion is a pathetic idea. If are morals are to be just, they should come from rationality not from dogma. The greatest plague to society is the idea that we are beasts without morality only to be tamed by religion. It is a disgusting idea.

4.
As much as I hate the philosophical basis of religion and of Christianity, I admire the culture of Christianity.

>1, How do you give meaning to your life?
I have to give the meaning myself by setting goals.

>2. How do you accept death?
Try not to think about it?

>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
Keep Christianity. Strengthen it.

>4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
Mostly good, particularly post-reformation.

I think I'd be happier as a theist and I think Christianity is good for keeping people moral (though I'm unconvinced it's essential to underpin morality).

But I am unable to convince myself of the truth of Christianity or any religion... Probably because I'm an emotionless autistic.
>>
>>78179688
1. Same as everybody else: I want to build a good world for my children.

2. I don't, of course. If I accepted it, I'd be dead already.

3. Christianity caused the situation we have now. The bleeding heart liberal bullshit that weakened our nationalism follows obviously from the message of jesus.

What should we do? Sack up and preach a strong morality that honors our ancestors, and serves our descendants.

4. I like jesus as a moral teacher. He was deluded though. He preached a form of nihilism that rejects the reality of the physical world. It's a good ideal that he has, but it can't work in the real world.

meh, they are alright i guess if you ignore tyhe rules in the bible about stoning someone wearing clothing made of two different materials or eating shellfish.

As christianity loses its grip on society it is seen as "mellowing" out. But if we were to go back to 100% strict scripture wed go ISIS level

1. Life for me is an emergency to get the things I want done, done. I am a young man and find meaning in who I love, what I work on, and what I'm interested in (hiking, swimming, music making, mushroom picking, cooking...). This will change as I age, if I have children my meaning would probably be to see the day they are happy and well on their own.
2. I don't accept death, i just realize it as an unfortunate inevitability as I am not a man-child who can't come to terms with reality because I am a sissy bitch who believes in sky creatures.

1. I do not need to give meaning to life, meaning is already included in the package. A priori and all that.
2. Very easily.
3. There is no moral decay, only an institutional decay. People are not less human, but rather there is less community. It was bound to happen. The solution is basically just to continue being human, but try to learn from history. It's more efficient that way.
4. In a vacuum Biblical values are nothing special, entry-tier shit, but there is an enormous treasure trove of both Jewish and Christian thinkers who have furthered the sphere of human understanding and values through their religion. It's so embedded into the spirit of the West, one couldn't reject it if one tried and I think that it's best to try and understand it directly.

Unfortunately I don't think there are many people who understand and follow the values taught through Christianity, they only "believe" because they were raised that way, or wear it as a status symbol.

I pursue things that make me happy. A avoid things that make me sad. Depends what you mean by "give meaning". My friends, my family and my work give me a lot of meaning, knowing I'm contributing to society and make others happy. Feels good man.

>How do you accept death?
It hasn't come up yet.

>What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destruction of Christianity has left?
No idea. Ideally things will fix themselves when society learns some of the morals christianity and other religions teach aren't so bad. Failing that, maybe we just need to become more religious again.

4. They are basis of Western culture and should be celebrated and protected with Christianity as a whole. They're a strong universal moral compass.

I think people are too hard on christianity and too leninent with other primitive, more savage religions.
Society should really start treating all religions the same, but aply the proper punishment to any idiot who uses religiom as excuse, a christian murderer, an atheist murderer and a islamic murderer are still murderers
The moment people treat others the sam based on their actions and not their race or beliefs, then society will improve
>4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
Some stuff like family and respect is good.

3. You say that like Christianity never created immorality. Read some books on the Middle Ages. There's a reason why Chuch and State are divided. If anything we live in the most peaceful time in history.
4. Most judeo-Christian values are secular values that have nothing to do with religion but with common decency. It just happens that some of them can be found in religion. If you lived your life the way the bible prescribed it to you you'd still be sacrificing children for a good harvest.

1. Life has no inherent meaning;

2. It's a fact that everything will die sooner or later, and I hope my brief existence won't be a burden to my loved ones and those around me;

3. >The old "there's no morality without religion, and an atheist/secular society would descend into chaos and nihilism because there's no higher power to inspire them" bullshit;

4. Some are decent, but hardly exclusive to abrahamic religions (Like the much-touted "Golden Rule", which predates christianity by a lot), so take "judeo-christian values" with a container of salt. A lot of them are arbitrary, rampant idiocy ("Don't mix types of cloth or shave because god will be pissed at you", "Don't talk to menstruating or pregnant women for they are unclean"), or have lost the value that once made them valid ("Don't eat pork". It might have been useful 3000 years ago to prevent rampant cysticercosis (even if they had no idea of what it actually was), but today it is quite safe to eat a pork chop). The last, third lot is just terrible. Besides, most christians (I don't know about Jews, I don't think I've ever met one) arbitrarily pick what they want to follow from the Bible and ignore the rest by dismissing it as parables/analogies/"that's not what that means" to mold their religion to their whims, so what exactly those "values" are may vary wildly from individual to individual.

2. Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.
3. Adopt stoicism.

2. I do not, but I'm too dumb and lazy to work in genetics or nanotech.

3. Society shouldn't do anything. People should. Because society is made of people. If they are too dumb to see where they are going that's gonna be more entertainment for me.

4. Too much bullshit around a couple worthwhile things.

For decades, the more than 80% of the US has claimed to be Christian yet during the same time we've had "moral decay" in the increases in teen pregnancy, single parenthood, violent crimes, adultery, etc. I wouldn't blame that on "destructoring of Christianty."
>>
>>78179688
>1, How do you give meaning to your life?
It has no real meaning I guess. We're just part of bigger universal mechanism that won't give a shit if some species or even planets suddenly disappear. But if you need a meaning then consider directions I picked:
Firstly, I accept nature which tells me to pass genes and do stuff to ensure survival of my species. Do not think it means fucking everything that walks, we're on top because of civilization and civilization needs certain rules to last. It just means being family oriented and contributing to the civilization/system by ether producing something such system needs (for example being a baker) or by doing scientific work to solve problems, improve quality of life and protection from diseases, natural catastrophies etc. Basically it's like an ultimate competition and we're a team and we want to win.
Secondly, if this isn't enough for you, you can pick your path. For me pleasure makes the biggest sense. I want to have fun and enjoy my life. Do not think that this means some degenerate shit. In fact I tried some of it and I didn't like it. It means stuff like having fun reading books, playing games, enjoying your good work (like self-made furniture etc), spending time with family, enjoying passing your skills and knowledge to the kids etc.
I don't feel like no real meaning is reason to kill yourself, especially that your instinct makes you avoid death.

>2. How do you accept death?
Can you evade it? No? Not yet? Then there's no point in crying about it. All you can do is maybe doing research to stop aging (and desu I don't even know if I'd want to be immortal, rather have a choice when I will die). Besides this you just have to accept it - it's inevitable right now. Just try to live your life the best you can do and maybe leave something after yourself.

>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
Abolish rampant consumptionism and focus on few common sense laws like "don't do to others you don't like being done to yourself" or "eye for an eye". Too much well being causes corruption and depression since everything is based on comparison. You need to experience hardships to appreciate good stuff. It's like white sheet of paper on the white wall. You can't see it unless there's shade (position comparison) or different shade (color comparison). You need to experience some pain and misery to know what is bad, and some joy to know what is good. Getting rid of "stressless upbringing" and child worship, and bringing back conscription for X months could be a good start for that.

>4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
Some of it makes sense, some seems like a bullshit. If it helps you, go on, believe everything your book says. Just don't enforce this shit on me. I don't feel any need to believe anything to feel better. I'm fine as I am now.

I agree with the majority of J-C values and beliefs. I think Biblical parables are some of the best stories we can teach children. But I don't believe that a man walked on water and I don't think God can hear us when we pray.

I'm not really atheist I guess. I believe there is a god and I believe that there is an afterlife; however I believe that God is so far above everything and so complicated that while he does interact in some way with out existence it is in ways that are overall impossible for us to finely grasp, and that worship or any kind of organization of collective thought will not matter to God in the slightest.

I also believe that an afterlife will be so different from normal life and you'll be something far different from a thinking mind or human, that in this stage of our existence it doesn't even matter if it exists or not.

As far as values go I may as well be atheist though.

1] I give my own life meaning, I live to enjoy what it has to offer.

2] I have trouble accepting death and it hurts me deeply when a loved one dies, deeper than anything has ever hurt me before.

3] Society will possibly not recover, but life operates in cycles and even if society were to be destroyed it would come back again in the fullness of time.

4] I find Christianity in a whole to be the best religion to come out of the abrahamic religions family. It does not order you to kill infidels, it does not order you to violently purge the world, it does not ask of you to manipulate all who are not amongst your religion. The Quran does, the Talmud does. Christianity, though having a past of war, is truly a religion of compassion and caring; its focus is not to destroy non-Christians or enslave them, but to convert them so all the world may be one.

Even this question is impacted by your beliefs. Your obsession with a mystical greater meaning is a distraction from the splendor of the life you do have. Life is a wonderful thing, but I'm sorry to say there is no higher purpose to it at all. Enjoy it as much as you can, but don't be a dick about it.

I accept that it is inevitable (for now), but I try to live well and postpone it as much as humanly possible, because it is the end.

No sense in worrying about something inevitable. Maybe I've read too much Discworld.
>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
People shouldn't be judged based on their religion, but based on their actions. Religion cannot be used as an excuse to do something immoral. Murder is murder, no matter how you look at it.

1. By being creative. No, just kidding: I don't.
2. Like all the other 5 billion people out there who aren't theists: it just happens and you can't do anything about it. Accept it. Frankly: accepting life and how it is, is much harder.
3. You are overestimating the moral value of Christianity. And I personally consider Christianity today as one of the primary threats for the integrity, security and sustainability of Europe. Just look at the pope, but there are millions examples more.
4. Soom are good, but too pacifist, too much glorification of poverty, sickness and weakness. And most of them are borrowed from earlier myths, the classical values of ancient Greece and Rome. Or could be found in atheist religions like Buddhism.

Maybe Europe should reembrace Christianity for the sake of its families and the morality of "the masses". But I doubt it would do it much good looking at the condition the churches are in. And you cannot enforce it either way.

Otherwise: I wish you much happiness, loyalty, hope, love and faith.

Tricky question desu, religion's the only thing that's ever really kept morals in check among the majority. A pseudo-religion based on philosophy (non-degenerate) and reason might work.
>4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
They're pretty good but some of the old-testament stuff is pretty backwards, and based on some of what they say: the disciples are not who people should follow. (Hence my skepticism of the religion - they're the ones who recorded everything.)

You should stop being a burden then instead of opting out. You won't believe me but true family cares about you far more than they do about the effect you have on them. Plus there are more people who care than you think, these replies are proof.

And don't worry about sexual and romantic stufff, it happens when it happens - the only reason we're pressured to engage in either while we're young (regardless of whether or not we meet anyone we truly love) is because of societal degeneracy.

Overal they are great. I love them but there is some really fucked up values that are out-dated. Like not being able to eat pork, shellfish, or swear? No lust? No Gluttony?

Scientific evidence

1. I live for my own values, I am a manifestation of my ideals and live with the goal to do what I believe is right and what is worth doing/changing in this world.
2. Death is what gives life value, if there were no death life would have no value. Basically like Nietzsche I think that by depending on an afterlife you lose sight of how important the life here and now is. I deal with death by making my goal to live a life that will be enough to leave me ready and satisfied when it is time to die, and if I can't do that taking every opportunity I have now to live life to the fullest since I know that I won't be on this planet forever.
3. We should focus on the principles that keep societies together, empathy and co-operation with others to work together for a mutual interest. An understanding that providing a place in which people can be happy and prosper is one in which we all must work together and be considerate of each other.

>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?

We should simply go back to the way things were, teaching Christianity in schools alongside Math and Science. I went to Catholic School and the fact is people act better with a strong moral structure that's frequently questioned, challenged and debated. I found my Christian teachers to be a little backwards but ultimately aware of the fact and fully supportive of gay culture. Which I personally don't believe is wrong, what myself and the Catholic Church agree on is being a slut is damaging to both yourself and to society.

I like to call myself a Cultural Christian, kind of like some jews are Culturally jewish yet don't practice. I was raised Irish Catholic and still hold many of those views, except I don't see any logic to not have pre-marital sex if you're an adult.

I like to call myself a Cultural Christian, kind of like some jews are Culturally jewish yet don't practice. I was raised Irish Catholic and still hold many of those views, except I don't see any logic to not have pre-marital sex if you're an adult.

That would be hard to find, Natural Science by definition can only test Natural phenomenon, i mean we can spend hours argueing about the complexity of the eye, but we will never convince anyone of anything.

All of those outdated values ARE outdated. Jesus made a new covenant with God. All of those laws don't mean shit, Jesus said that we are all sinners. However, the interpretation in the widely accepted King James Bible that you have to accept Christ to go to heaven I believe is entirely false. I believe that his original teaching was that you should try to be like him. I don't believe he died for our sins, I believe that he died for his own sin. You should look into what Edgar Cayce said about this.

Well since God is not subject to natural laws, then we humans have no means to detect, prove or disprove him. He might even be outside our range of understanding, and therefore everything we argue about God is mere conjecture. There's no point arguing if there's a God, and no point acting as if he exists.
Besides even if we could prove that there is indeed a God, then finding which is his word and religion is another diferent can of worms.
Actually believing the scientific theories makes far less assumptions.

I'm obviously not the norm, but I'm planning on killing myself once certain parameters are met. So I guess that counts as "accepting death".
>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
I don't think it's possible. The vast majority of people are way too self-centred to do so without a threat of infinite torture and pain. Especially in the west where everyone, especially women, lead such lavish lives and where the main goal of many people is to "try everything in life".
>4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
Not really sure what you mean by that, but if you mean the normal everyday values most Christian spouts then I suppose they're okay. It has a good track record seeing as how the western civilisation is the most successful civilisation on earth, but it fails miserably to fight long term goals like globalism that would destroy that very same identity in the first place. If anything, it's "too welcoming" with the wrong kind of people to the point it risks its own existence.

3 - Continue the fight against degeneracy. Yes, even atheism.

4 - God was a dick, too short-sighted to know that his rules were literally impossible to follow, but then he came around and owned up to it. To do that, he quit his cuck-dad's go-nowhere career, told his overbearing Jew mom to mind her own business, trolled the religious authorities of his day, whipped the shit out of a bunch of religious hypocrites, gave the government the runaround, took a three day weekend, and told everyone, "You can accept me for who I am, or you can go to Hell."

I can see why people like the guy, and if only more people could act like that, I wouldn't mind.

Love and lust are different reactions in the brain. one is triggered by oxoticyn and the other is controlled by testosterone. Both are still chemical reactions inside the brain.

You don't 'trust' your thoughts being rational, you just think as your brain allows you to. A crazy person dos not know he is crazy. Still, given that nobody has found my thoughts or behaviour to be overly weird, I can for now asume that I'm not crazy, but rational.

Christianity was part of the moral decay. It is a lie. Waking up, does not mean believing in lies to please the flesh.

2) It's natural and the fact that this is my only life makes it that much more special and makes me want to do as much good as I can.

"Murder" is an english word used to describe some killings of humans by other humans. It's more a legal term than anything else. If I kill someone without my government's permissions it's "murder", but if I kill someone with my government's permission it's just "warfare."

1. Life has no inherent meaning, but I apply as much friendliness and benevolence to it as possible to "make the world a better place"
2. Everything dies, probably even the universe. Deal with it.
3. Sell morals as stand-alone products. Even without the framework of a fantastic story and churches, people can still not be horrid dicks to each other. Imparting wisdom is difficult and tedious, but as long as kids see that choices have consequences they'll eventually be able to make their own decisions.
4. They're pretty good, for the most part. They worked very well for certain groups across the eras and still keep the listless ruffians in line with fear of divine punishment. Most of the morals like the Golden Rule are common sense values that don't need a specific religion to propagate, but without being codified in a larger body of work people might not hear of them or give a shit.

1. Kek. Christcucks think slavery to an omnipotent entity is a great meaning of life.
To answer that - live my life. I consider it meaningless by definition. Compared to universal processes a human life is extremely short - so live life for yourself by yourself, make sure you have a next generation following you, and make sure to not fuck up your own.

2. You die, everything dies. Dogs die, bacteria die, you`re not going to be a snowflake that`s going to evade it and have another one somewhere else. It just going to end. Like a movie. Nothingness.

In some cases I would say yes, even if it is a silent majority. And that is a problem I think in some cases, but there is only so much a minority can do against a stuborn majority.
>>
>>78209704
so if the majority wanted to torture babies to death for mere pleasure, it would be morally acceptable

Agnostic here, but since I highly doubt that if a god exists it's a magical skydaddy that will take care of us all in his space daycare:

1) Because we die, and I want to do the most I can with my fleeting time on earth.
2) It's an inescapable fact of life, so I see no reason to fret over it
3) There hasn't been any "moral decay," just a bunch of stuck up traditionalists who are mad because other people don't live their lives exactly how the traditionalists think they should.
4) Just like any other religion, the values that fit within the Golden Rule are fine, everything past that ranges somewhere between "I'm not hurting you or anyone else so why do you care" and "you sick fuck"

>>78209956
yes it does
>>
>>78209897
Probably, but I personally do not think it is ever morally right to do so.

1. Simply, I just do it.
2. Death will be rest for me so it's okay. Long work ahead though.
3. Return to pre-christian religion/values if possible. If not, then I don't know.
4. Gas the kikes and their ideas.

Bam, "murder" is an arbitrary definition dependent on man-made law and societal norms. It has no true, universal meaning. Murder is a social construct.

>>78210678
but we dont live that way, we live like there is a sense of justice in the world,
>>
>>78210872
are all words abitrary

>we live like there is a sense of justice in the world
That's a pretty ignorant way to live. Those who deserve justice the most will never know my name.

?

>1, How do you give meaning to your life?
I give it meaning by doing shit and enjoying myself.

>2. How do you accept death?
Don't think about it too much. I just accept that one day I won't be here and tha's that.

>3. What should society do to fill the moral decay that the destructoring of Christianity has left?
Trump 2016 baby

4. What is your stance on judeo-Christian values?
Mainstream ones I can agree mostly on (apart from all that stuff regarding chastity before marriage).

Of course not you fucking rube.
"Seventeen" refers to a specific quantity of something.
To "kill" is to cause the death of something.
A "human" is a being belonging to the Hominina clade.

"Murder" is different things to different people.
>>
>>78211820
but to God murder is murder

>>78212033
"God" is a valuable social control mechanism. There is not yet any evidence to the contrary.
>>
>>78212308
explain how the God of the Bible is a control mechanism
>>
>>78180049
I'm not part of a church because of your last statement, but I'm still Christian. One of the powerful parts of the faith is you can learn and believe on your own. No intermediary is required for absolution.
>>
>>78180145
Yup. Another phrase coined by the juden.
>>
>>78212693
church is good for christians
>>
>>78212457
The bible itself is a control mechanism, written by man to control the gullible. "God" is just a character in a book.
