I fail to understand how adopting a belief system that makes one happier is any way "smart". In my opinion, those who believe there is a reason for existence or "hope" are deluding themselves. I think the more intelligent position is to go with whatever all of one's experience tell one. If that leads to the conclusion that "life" is really nothing and that there is no possible hope for any being in the universe, so be it. Everything I know indicates that that's the way it is. From my perspective, it is mentally ill to think otherwise.
Second, I can't believe major media establishments pay people like this who are basically shock jocks. People like whoever it was who wrote that are part of what caused me to become a radical anticapitalist for several months in the spring.
Also, the "something from nothing" argument barfbag brought up is absolutely inane and if you sincerely believe that that is a legitimate argument for the existence of God, you
are stupid, period. If there had to be a first cause, and therefore God exists, how did God come into existence? I am sure I will only get silence from barfbag, because he cannot defend his statement. The idea that complex things had to have a designer is equally inane, because if intelligence is so complex it cannot arise organically, how can God exist? Of course barfbag is a troll, and I have more or less disproved a post he made on another topic, and he did not respond, and I
know he saw it, because he
actually posted in that thread again without defending his statement. And he kept on repeating his ridiculous assertion in other threads. I know this is off-topic, but barfbag is clearly here to troll and I am strongly in favour of his banning. I do have him on ignore, just to be clear, and I only saw his post in this thread because someone responded to it.
