    Materialists don't value life all that much

    This would be no different than saying: "Having my mother for all eternity isn't what is important. I am fine with her forever no longer existing since I don't care about her that much. But I am willing to have her and enjoy her for a limited time. I value her more since her existence is...

    Materialists don't value life all that much

    That is a different situation besides this topic. That is a situation to be worked out with my therapist. This situation I am talking about is a person valuing the truth more than that said thing.

    Materialists don't value life all that much

    How does that make any sense? If you value something, then you would want to believe it lasts forever. You would never want it taken away from you and you would want to believe it lasts forever regardless if that is true or not. The fact that you would be willing to give up such a belief...

    Materialists don't value life all that much

    Refer to my previous post. This a different situation.

    Materialists don't value life all that much

    If a person gives up their comforting belief of living forever for the sake of what is true, then it means they value the truth more than they do living life itself. If they valued living life itself, then they would want to believe that they would live forever regardless if it is true or not.

    Materialists don't value life all that much

    This is a different situation. I was saying that a person who is willing to sacrifice their belief that something can last forever in their lives does not value that said thing that much. Because if they did, they would want to believe that it would last forever. If they valued that said...

    Materialists don't value life all that much

    People who don't want to live forever do not value life all that much. If they are willing to sacrifice a belief in an eternal afterlife for something else, then they do not value life all that much. Because if they did, then they would want to live forever. They would want to believe in an...

    Which is more important? Yourself or other things?

    I think the person is the most important thing in life and everything else being secondary. I would not, for example, abandon my mother if she were ill or sick and leave her to suffer just because I thought that something else in this life was more precious than her such as nature or this...

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    How do you know that applies to everyone though? How do you know that I would go mad? I don't think I ever would since an eternal blissful life means so much to me.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    Then you don't have that survival instinct like I do. This survival instinct is very strong in me. So strong that it renders my life empty, hellish, and miserable without my belief in the eternal blissful afterlife.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    Thanks. But I am really not sure if my life can have any joy and meaning without my belief in the eternal blissful afterlife. If nothing changes in my life and if I can't have the joy and meaning that I had many years ago when I did have my full belief back then, then that leaves me with no...

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    All that matters in my life is that I have a life all to myself. One that is eternal, blissful, has no more suffering, and no depression. Living forever and being happy is all that matters to me and if anyone takes that away from me, then I will be driven to violence.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    If this were some fancy want such as a car or a mansion, then yes, I would agree that I would be like a child. But this is a completely different situation we are talking here. This is my own existence as a human being we are talking here. Like I said, for that to be tossed and forever thrown...

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    You say just change my life. Like I said, no matter what I try and think, nothing changes. This is truly the only thing I have in life that brings my life meaning and I wouldn't be sitting here complaining if other things brought my life meaning and joy.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    I will also tell you another reason why the idea of me no longer existing forever when I die is so bad to me. I am not the self-sacrificing type of person. I am the extreme opposite of self-sacrificing. I am extremely self-preserving. So the idea that I have to forever be sacrificed in the...

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    The idea of me forever no longer existing is the worst horrible thing to me that prevents me from enjoying this life and finding meaning in this life no matter what I do and tell myself. I am a materialist and do not believe in the afterlife.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    I wouldn't be complaining if other things in my life brought me joy and meaning besides living forever in eternal bliss. But the fact of the matter is that they don't. It is only when I get to live forever in eternal bliss that I am happy, enjoying my life, and find meaning in this life.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    I never attacked anyone.

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    I understand what you are saying, but this does not work for me. It does not make my life happy or more meaningful at all. To me, an eternal blissful life would be the greatest meaningful and joyful life since I get to be happy forever, enjoy the beauty of life forever, and have it all to...

    Life is meant to be destroyed

    You call this greed. No, it is a completely different situation. This is not like a situation where I want some fancy car or mansion. This is me as a human being we're talking here. This is my own existence as a human being we are talking here. So for that to be tossed and forever thrown...
