I see no fundamental purpose in life. If I'm honest, I can be rather nihilistic at times. Though from the lack of anything, I see the opportunity to create something greater. I don't have a reason to want to strive for something, but the alternative is nothing and therefore, I take it upon...
Thank you!
Thank you for the welcome.
I genuinely don't think many in my generation are hungry for the kind of information that some who are older may have. I'm the president of a chapter of the Secular Student Alliance and went to a meeting with a community group where I was the youngest by...
A small bit of both. I love learning things I didn't know previously about different belief systems, but coupled with that, I always want to understand what it means to be me. The good and the bad. My goal is to one day look back and be able to recognize my own accomplishments and have no...
Well thank you very much. I know I have a lot to learn still but I appreciate you taking your time to talk with me. I hope that as I grow, I continue to explore.
I totally agree with your critique of dogmatic faiths. Personally, I'm endlessly grateful for how I was raised in a skeptical way. Thank you for sharing. If you have any questions for me, I am happy to share.
Again, I don't meant to be intrusive so by all means, don't feel pressured to respond.
Are these experiences with the the theistic or philosophical teachings of hinduism? That is to say, did you meet the gods or relate to the teachings?
If I could as a probing question, what do you mean by "Experience changed me."? Do you mean a spiritual experience or more interactions with those around you? Im personally interested in these kinds of ideas.
I love to talk morality. To give you the short version, I use the very basic label that most totally non religious people I know personally use which is "secular humanist" to address morality.
More specifically of what that means to me is that I will do what I believe to be best not only for...
Oh ya, My friends make it very clear that me and my other very atheistic friend are hard to handle :sweatsmile: But hopefully we can all have fun either way.
Right now I am exploring different epistemologies. I know solipsists, flat earthers and even one person who doesn't believe corn specifically is real. Im not looking to break down beliefs, but rather how they got to them. Though I disagree with them, I think it's important to understand them. Is...
Hey! Im an atheist that was raised secularly. Even though I am where I have always been, I have been searching for truth my whole life. I was raised to look at everything objectively and come to my own conclusions. though my current position is in a way 0, I want to explore all possible...
Hey guys, I was looking around for a place where I can explore my drive to have compelling conversation with different people. So I guess its time to get started.
