Believing youre going to be rewarded with something greater after you pass away, is a slap in the face to the greatness you have been rewarded with now. "Heaven is a miracle", to be alive is a miracle. Why do you demand more
Im not even for or against the religious statement, more so why is that your means of justification? Can you not enrich your soul for the purpose of the life youre currently living and those around you? And afterlife must be included to give reward to action??? What????
The argument that Socrates couldn't possibly be an atheist because he believed in the enrichment of the soul, therefore immediately assuming the purpose is for entrance into eternal life is crazy to me
Im too obsessed with divinity. Im going insane i sometimes feel. There is no argument that justifies a moral god that is not also the biggest evidence against one. Ive tried logos, now im trying socratically. Why must everything be neutral? Why is there no guidance?
His execution was strange to me, his trial filled with irony. Dare they think blasphemy lies in the realm of questioning the divine? Doubt is not the failure of faith, but the price of taking it seriously. What God would yours be if not to withstand a question?
Reviewed the words of Socrates this evening, of which he said the unexamined life is not worth living. Did he mean that life is meaningless without question? Or only unbearable once we begin?
I want someone I can interview. I want to write a biography on another. I want to ask questions that make you sick to answer. I want to know if we're similar, and more importantly, I need to know if we're not.
