Book sniffer. Earth animal. Very amateur thought-haver developing an atheology of love, outlined in the website link. Call me Bill. CW: pronouns

This is a superthread of material related to the project I call an atheology of love, a moral and spiritual philosophy I'm developing around the idea that love can function as a source of subjective meaning and value on premises of atheism, naturalism, and moral error theory.

Pretty cool that God just gives me what I want. I want an eternity of love and awe-filled pursuit of the mystery of being. Thanks God, that's really cool.

The essence of hell is separation from God which a person chose; God gives them what they want. Hell is not Dante’s Inferno.

@PopePiusIXStan I want an eternity of love and awe-filled pursuit of the mystery of being, is God gonna give me that?

[The Outsider Humanist @TheOutsiderHum1]

@SpeedWatkins Reasons are a philosophical category error. People do things for reasons, and the reasons are desires guided by beliefs. Independently of these reasons, the concept of "reasons", as moral realists would like to offer it to us, is an empty pretense.

@blogacide @paperssil Fantastic!

@avidseries Still can't believe women don't have shoulders.

@foolmealex Least respected taboo ever. I happily shoot my shot with customers and coworkers. It's never a problem because I'm actually respectful to everyone.

@SProviso69292 @FSMincho @ThePhysicsMemes @grok Yeah, that's the way it's constructed. I'm not sure why though. Sometimes it's written as each number just containing the previous number.

[The Outsider Humanist @TheOutsiderHum1]

@m966021 I agree in moral and practical considerations, but we also need to be able to abstract ourselves from the picture in order to understand systems that exist or operate independently of us.

[The Outsider Humanist @TheOutsiderHum1]

@BiblicGrounded Nothing is objectively wrong or right because objective morality is completely fake.

@mathhub_vn I would simply invent complex numbers.

I'm pretty sure that David Hume did not write that nothing exists except for sense data. Feel free to correct me! But his epistemological, moral, and metaphysical skepticism have been extremely influential, influencing Kant to develop transcendental idealism and deontology among other things.

@_PsychoAlienCat @Concord1517 @9er4Life33 @athiestboi God can't just tell people to go against their customs! He's just a smol guy doin he best!

@4truth_kay @_Ochiedike So you don't think that God commanded this? What else in the Old Testament is false?

The image is a Venn diagram of the set theoretical representation of the number 4. 0 is the empty set, 1 is the set whose only member is 0, 2 is the set whose only members are 0 and 1, and so on. This tracks the Peano construction of the non-negative integers with the successor function.

@aquavitae96 Yeah rights are made up.

[The Outsider Humanist @TheOutsiderHum1]

@aquavitae96 Atheists do not generally believe, and atheism does not entail, that there was ever nothing.

[The Outsider Humanist @TheOutsiderHum1]

@Atomsmade This is a powerful step forward in the neverending quest of theists and atheists to out-strawman each other.

To give you some perspective, I was already bored with gender and dating discourse in 2023.
