    My Hedonistic Logical Argument

    There might be an abstract form of value. For example, it might be objectively wrong to harm someone innocent. However, where my logical argument was getting at is that you cannot actually perceive that as being a horrible thing as long as you did not feel bad from that. You could acknowledge...

    My Hedonistic Logical Argument

    1.) Perceiving something to be of good value, worth, joy, beauty, inspiration, love, a heavenly experience, and happiness to you can only be an experience for you that has a positive tone. In short, having good value and worth, along with joy, beauty, and happiness in your life is always a...

    Isn't it obvious there should be no hell?

    If you were to ask kind and respectful people in other areas of the world what they think of the Christian moral standard, then they would tell you that it is horrible. This says here that these kind people have the right morals and that it is instead Christian indoctrination and other...

    Isn't it obvious there should be no hell?

    I think it is quite obvious that there should be no concept of original sin where sinners are condemned to hell to suffer for eternity. I am going to explain why. It is no different than how it is quite obvious that what Hitler did to the Jews was wrong and sadistic. If you just use your gut...

    Not Value Judgments

    Many people say that if you have any given experience such as a hellish or beautiful experience in your life, that this is simply a matter of you projecting a value judgment upon a certain experience in your life. But let me tell you just how much nonsense this really is. Imagine if you were...

    A new way to determine the role consciousness plays

    Many people have questions in regards to what consciousness is and what role it plays. I think a good way to answer one of these questions is by seeing how the brain responds in regards to consciousness. What I mean by this is asking people questions. For example, many altruistic people would...

    Hell is a joke

    Is eternal punishment just?

    But if we are created as eternal spirits, then couldn't God choose to destroy us any way to prevent us from enduring eternal torment? After all, this is God and he can do anything. He can strip us of our eternal nature and, from there, completely destroy us.

    Is eternal punishment just?

    Criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes are executed. I would consider this to actually be a more just punishment than having the criminal endure the suffering of going insane from solitary confinement. In that same sense, wouldn't it be unjust for God to have sinners be tormented...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    The natural process of dying would be "throwing me away." I use that quoted phrase metaphorically since no one and nothing is actually throwing me. I use that quoted phrase to denote the notion that, once I die, I will just rot, decay, and that will be the end of me.

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    Because you could still say that life itself has treated you poorly. This would pertain to natural processes. Even if there were no way for life itself or any natural process to treat me poorly, it would still be insulting, degrading, a lack of respect, and a lack of dignity to me as a person...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    You are right in saying that respect is earned and not handed out. I think I have earned it just from the simple fact that I am kind towards my family and others out in the community. I do not harm, torture, judge, or condemn others. This, alone, makes me worthy of respect and dignity.

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    Because others would expect you to live a life that has no value to you and no worth to you. They would not care if such a life could never bring you any value or worth. They would just want to slave drive you and nothing more. That is the attitude that most people in this society have. This...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    I am trying to change the views of others who think that my views really are childish, spoiled, and immature. That is the reason why I brought up the whole notion of me being childish and spoiled in the first place and attempted to rebut others who insist I am. This is because I want the name...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    Then let me apply any other situation that insults and degrades your humanity besides the Hitler scenario and now it should become clear to you.

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    I'll just respond to this post because I feel like I have already basically answered the other posts. Again, no, I do not think it is childish. This sense of entitlement is the very reason why we would help others and care for others in the first place. If you help out your parent or loved...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    Spiritual beliefs claim that when we die and live on in an eternal blissful afterlife, that all our human qualities of empathy, joy, love, etc. will be intact.

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    Personally, I do not see how that follows. If we were immortal, we would still have human qualities. We would still have empathy for one another and all the other attributes that humans have. The only thing that you could consider to not be human would be our physical forms since we would now...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    I display a nice, kind, and respectful attitude to my family and to others out in the community. I respect the values of others and I am a kind person. That is why I think I am entitled to an eternal blissful afterlife. It's not like I am the most horrible person of all who needs to be put...

    Death being final degrades and insults our humanity

    I think this is where we just have to agree to disagree. You think it is immature, spoiled, and childish and I think it is not for all the reasons I have given in this topic. Especially regarding what I said about freedom and democracy. I think my entire position here and all my reasons...
