    A better way to convert sinners

    Instead of having a god who punishes sinners and condemns them to hell which is sure to stir up hate and rejection of his fellow human creations, then why not allow these sinners to live in selfish sin all they want to until they eventually grow tired of it and change out of boredom? That would...

    I find a clash in a secular based value system

    The only thing that gives my life value and worth would be my good feelings. In other words, the greatest life for me would be an eternal blissful afterlife where I can be happy all I want and get everything I want. This is because these good feelings are the only experiences that have real...

    I find a clash in a secular based value system

    So, I guess, for you, there is no clash. There is no pinning up of the personal values of human beings against the idea that we have no value and are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But, for me, there is always that clash which has that cancelling effect I mentioned in my post.

    I find a clash in a secular based value system

    Please elaborate further what you mean here.

    I find a clash in a secular based value system

    Again, the child would be significant to those who love him/her in terms of personal value. But when that gets clashed with the idea that we have no value in the grand scheme of things and that we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, then that is when things cancel out.

    I find a clash in a secular based value system

    Read This Bolded Summary Instead: I will post a summary of this post that gets my point across. With a beautiful rose, I can find value in that rose even though it will decay away one day. But when it comes to a human being, then this person cannot be like a rose which would solely be a...

    Logical argument (hedonism)

    I'm not sure where the mistakes are because I am not seeing them. Good value simply means your life is good to you or something is good to you, bad value simply means something is bad to you or your life is bad to you, value can refer to good or bad, and worth is when something is worth...

    Logical argument (hedonism)

    If that is something that brought your life good value and worth, then that would have to be a good quality of experience for you. Refer to the bottom of my opening post with the person's response and my reply to it.

    Logical argument (hedonism)

    Good value refers to value that is good. Bad value refers to value that is bad. Value just refers to good or bad. Worth just means a life worth living in my argument. My axiom would be that having good value and worth in your life is always a good quality of experience for you and that your...

    Logical argument (hedonism)

    I think this logical argument gives the most effective hedonistic position and I would like to hear the comment of others regarding my logical argument.
  11. The Transcended Omniverse

    Logical argument (hedonism)

    I will present to you a brief logical argument that summarizes my hedonistic view: 1.) Having good value and worth in your life is dependent upon a good quality of experience. This is because if you were to live a life that has much good value and worth to you, then that state of living...

    I am an atheist who cannot believe. Will I go to hell?

    I hear many people say that you go to hell if you don't believe in Christianity. That includes other religions out there who would make the same claim. I cannot make myself believe no matter what and I have researched all I could into everything I could possibly read into, and I just have to...

    The evolutionary definition of good and bad

    I have paid very close attention to what the experience of my good feelings (moods) are for me and they truly are the experience of good value and worth in of themselves. It is no different than a situation where a person in physical pain can clearly indicate what the experience is for him/her...

    All that matters is how we feel

    I would also like to add this one last point here which I think is important. I think some people out there might try to disprove my whole idea that my good feelings are the only source of real joy and value. They might ask me: "If you were in a state of complete depression and/or anhedonia...

    All that matters is how we feel

    You could definitely define joy, value, worth, happiness, beauty, and inspiration any way you like to just as how you could define yourself as the sun if you were someone full of anger and rage. But that is different than wanting to literally be the sun. If you, as an angry and enraged...

    All that matters is how we feel

    My feelings of happiness, love, joy, beauty, inspiration, drive, etc. which are all my good feelings, these are the only experiences that make my entire life and my composing hobby worth living for and they are the only experiences that give value and joy to my life and composing. There is no...

    God does not care if I go to hell

    The only way I can believe God exists is through open minded research. That is the only way. That is the best anyone can ever do. If I still don't believe even after all of that, then nothing more can be done. What justified reason would there be to then hold me accountable over a disbelief...

    God does not care if I go to hell

    But which God should I obey as a means of precaution is the real question here? I can't obey and serve all the possible Gods out there. Therefore, that only leaves me with the option of just carrying on with my daily life then. There is nothing else that can be done.

    Question regarding free will

    But where I am getting at is how would that work in terms of science? If we do have souls that have free will, then what scientific explanation would there be for how that works?

    Question regarding free will

    I'm not sure. That is why I am asking others here.
