That's one of the entire problems with atheism: without a higher power to give your life purpose, it can be very difficult to suffer through yet another day on this earth full of such suffering and sorrow.
Nihilism has a similar issue.
It's icky.
- rquantz 12y agoThat's one of the problems with religiosity: you can't imagine a way to find meaning in the world without fooling yourself.
- josephlord 12y agoAnd it is better to worship a deity that at the very least created "this earth full of such suffering and sorrow" if it isn't actively controlling it depending on your view of the deity's role in the world? As for purpose it isn't that hard to have one; it can be as simple as to having a little happiness and trying to make the world around you just a tiny bit better rather than worse. There is also no reason why for most people days should be things in general to "suffer through".
