What does it matter? What a toyish impression of human life, with such a focus on humiliation and glory and great narrative. How glorious is it to be concerned with glory and humiliation?
Who will be listening around for these stories? What will we be doing?
- gjsman-1000 7y agoEveryone, when the Resurrection of the Dead happens. We believe in two judgements: A personal judgement, which happens the moment you die and covers only the events that happened during your life, and then a last judgement in which every action by every human is revealed and the story made clear.
- ARandomerDude 7y agoCan you account for the value of human life in the atheistic worldview? Bags of chemicals, here by pure, unintended happenstance, is hardly a high view of humanity. Who will be around listening to these stories once the universe cools?
- threatofrain 7y agoAren't bags of chemicals also the part of the Christian perspective on physics? The fact that both Christians and Muslims can observe bags of chemicals does not restrict them to how they choose to think about people, or what values they choose promote. What glory is there in the concern for glory, and moreover, the humiliation of evil people? Isn't there a smell to having a taste for the humiliation of evil?
- heimidal 7y agoThere doesn’t need to be in-built value in human life for it to be valuable. As a species and society, we have chosen to value life and put rules in place to protect it. I find it inspiring that our species decided that, not a deity. For what it’s worth, there is not one atheistic worldview; the lack of belief in a god is not an ideology. It is nonsensical just like asking about the shared worldview of everyone who lacks belief in leprechauns or Zeus.
