saved from what?
Destruction
Destruction is not that bad honestly, a lot of old people desire it.
t. Justin Trudeau
Not being a coward who's afraid of death is bad?
>he doesn't know about Canadian prescription suicide
why dont they just go to the rope?
They're afraid they'll rope in hell.
The state making it illegal for you to end your life with dignity instead of turning into a dementia zombie is cringe.
>to end your life with dignity instead of turning into a dementia zombie is cringe.
Anon the state denies them access to healthcare turning them into demented cripples begging for death
there's solace in a lack of uncertainty
conducted by who?
>destruction is...le bad!
Why? When I die, my corpse will feed the worms, who will fulfill their role in the ecosystem by dispersing nutrients or being food for something else. My death will be a giver of life, just as my life has been a giver of death for the animals I've consumed. Circle of life, baby.
You're going to be destroyed OP
A troony may think he is a woman, but he will ultimately be a man, anyways.
You may think a israeli sorceror will make you immortal, but you will ultimately be destroyed, anyways.
The atheists on this board are too young to answer this.
I've almost died several times and I have no fear of death. You're just projecting your own misplaced cowardice much like people who got fat after 30 tell fit people that it will happen to them too.
knowledge of immortal consciousness does not require one to confide in any god
suck my ball beard
>knowing there is a immortal part of being
>still refuce to believe in God
lmao
>knowing there is lightning
>still refuses to believe in Zeus
lmao
If half the world started using the word, "zeus" to describe lighting, then I would hear them, and relate to them. I wouldn't make up my own language, and say, "lol, zeus isn't real".
You got such a weird view of language
Zeus is a big guy that lives on a mountain
When they say "wisdom comes with age" but all evidence points toward aging impeding the learning process as you get stuck hardwired in routine leading to irrational fear of change your brain being unable to process it leading to funny scenes of old people unable to send simple emails even after being taught how to do it multiple times.
The wisest men are those still in their late golden years 35~40 all that comes after that is slow decay and death with a lot of coping. The dying have no wisdom and breed only despair, let them rot in silence
There are two forms of intelligence.
crystallized (stored) and fluid (processing speed.) The old have the former, the young have the latter. Soon it won't matter, because Ai will replace both. How will you define your worth in the face of this superior intelligence?
>God creates a magical realm where souls of people he doesn't like are burned and tortured for all eternity
>If you can worship him hard enough and promise to love him forever he might reward you by "saving" you from this fate that he himself created.
Wow, thanks for nothing.
Even assuming this oversimplification is the case; Why not get with the program?
Because it’s not true, so I’m not going to debase myself by accepting israeli slave morality
That's not accepting the premise, that's a flat denial.
Well anon as far as I can tell we're all slaves of something, I'd rather be slave of the ultimate good than evil.
But tell me if you would be so inclined, what motivates you? What is your end goal?
I have multiple goals that motivate me, and the values I seek to pursue those goals are in opposition to Christianity. I don’t see meekness, rendering unto ceaser, and turning the other cheek as virtues.
You would rather see a world of haughtiness, statelessness and never forgiving someone?
I believe measured pride is a virtue, unjust governments should be resisted, and mercy should be balanced with retribution depending on the offense
I mean it is one thing to Call him our Lord. But he wants us to walk with him. Hell is not made for us, but if we do not want to be with God, then we are judged to be as such and cast. But I walk with God not of of fear, but of love.
But there will be a time when the wicked are judged for they do not want his grace.
I walk with the Lord because I do believe his ethical principles are the best and will bring the most peace to a person, I also recognize that God is good company based on his character shown in the new testament, so I do love Jesus in that way, thus I see it as working for good.
But I would be lying if I said him being all powerful and hell being very real wasn't a factor in my decision making to seek his mercy and follow in his footsteps.
So mostly a discipleship of love, but also elements of respecting him and slightly fearing him in his true power.
I think it's mostly just being able to grow as a person and not cling on to some 2000 year old worldbuilding story.
do you fear the state of being before you were born?
>do you fear the state of being before you were born?
Deeply, think of all the awesome stuff I missed
Some type of existentialism for me. I don’t know what to tell you man, you get over it as you get older. Not crippling, if it starts to bother you a couple times a year you just remind yourself to do your best because this life is all you’ve got.
Wish I left Christianity earlier so I could have dealt with it at a younger age.
>How does an atheist cope with death
Believing in an afterlife is a cope. You can also cope by enjoying your one finite life to the fullest.
They think that Bill Gates or Elon will invent immortality and they'll be saved on their death beds. That's legit how they think.
Wrong. Don’t expect that to happen in my lifetime.
except they don't
they do though, they think their high priests in The Science will attain immortality from andrenochrome and give them exclusive access because they've been an obedient servant in their evil kingdom.
no that is a strawman you create so you don't have to actually debate what their real beliefs are, that you only maintain by having very minimal social interactions
You’re just making up a strawman because you can’t actually contend with our actual answers. Frickin pussy
Atheist here: We don't have high priests and most of us (myself included) don't believe human technology will help achieve immortality within any current adult's life. I get that you want to drag atheists down to your level, but saying atheism is a religion is like saying vegetarianism is a meat based diet. There are atheistic religions and there are irreligious theists.
For me it was Pyrrhonism.
We are but a kaleidoscope.
>no that is a strawman you create so you don't have to actually debate what their real beliefs are, that you only maintain by having very minimal social interactions
>You’re just making up a strawman because you can’t actually contend with our actual answers. Frickin pussy
He’s right, your childish drawings mean shit. You have no argument, only impotent moaning.
Why even cope if there's nothing I can do about it?
You can repent.
It wouldn't be sincere.
How does anyone? A lot of people are religious precisely because they are afraid of death.
Who says you need a God to be saved?
God himself?
How do theists cope with the idea of heaven? Why do you think eternal life comes without consequence?
i'lll just be happy to be done with this shit i'm fricking over it
There's nothing to cope with
A job
Nice food
Lifting
A girl
Video games
By making my life enjoyable. It’s like you’re asking how do I cope with a vacation knowing it will end. I don’t stay in my hotel room all day.
Use your time wisely, which I don’t think includes making AI art of Ricky Gervais to try and scare people into Christianity
>You need salvation from a syncretic meshing of caananite gods into an egregore.
Nonsense it could be that Necoho the god of atheism is the true God and will torture any believers in any god forever while giving Atheists everlasting paradise. It’s an absurd premise but so is Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Egyptian Polytheism, ancestor worship, and Wicca.
>making good choices is absurd.
Why do you need israeli supernaturalism to make good choices when we had philosophy far before hand?
>Why do you need to assign value to words that are describing forces that shape the natural world, in order to make good choices, when we had a love of wisdom far before hand?
Because 50% of the world is abrahamic, and we should not assign worth to their nomenclature in vanity.
>philosophy
How about agapesophy? Should we be like, live like, and be alive like, those others who claim to be right? Or should we experience our own erossophy, and forge our own path, like the those who are left behind?
Peter, who is the foundation, admits that he loves in the sense of philo, and this reality saddens him. Jesus Christ, however, loves with agape, and that's what makes him supernatural, and worthy of praise.
that a shit philosophy that bring no results nor improves life
>giving away your money to the poor, anyone who robs you, doing whatever anyone demands of you plus more, being a virgin, not saving money, not caring about your body or what you wear
>good decisions
Have you even read the Bible?
There is 0 chance you don’t worship a israeli demon.
Well on one side you got
>A wonderful kingdom in the sky where you can live in eternal happiness if you're good
And on the other side
>That piece of dirt over there
You disliking dirt, doesn't make magic sky kingdom real
>ancient hebrews adopt the caananite pantheon, polytheist.
>They mix all gods into the previous thunder God
>Becoming thus monotheist
>Fast forward, some westerners write a story about some Jesus homie.
>They kill and get killed over it
>Fast forward, an enlishman and his alchemy helper hallucinate entire alphabets of ye Angels
>Medieval wizards summon these beings
>Fast forward such and such levitates, such and such bilocates, such and such has stigmata.
Currently:
>Be me
>Ignore the church
>Chant to Hecate
>Power goes off in the whole locale
>Hecate consoles me

how low IQ do you have to be to believe in g*d? It's a litmus test for moronation. I don't have to know anything else about you to know you are a subhuman double digit IQ "person" as soon as I know you are religious
the best part about being an "atheist" is that gaytrons like OP will seethe eternally a my existence, feels good man
I'm completely unconcerned about being dead, or what happens after (nothing). I only worry about the same stuff anyone else does. Namely not wanting to die a stupid death, a scary death, or an unjust death. Or, you know, an altogether too early death.
Believing you'll go to Heaven afterward doesn't really answer for those fears anyway, so I guess I'm probably coping in the same ways as those who do believe. Like taking comfort in the fact that those kinds of deaths are not so terribly likely.
