fucker won’t load. Loads like 60 seconds and that’s all. Fucking conspiracy. Yeah, it is. Other bullshit vids on youtube load, but oh, when it comes to “these” kind….oh, noooooo. Yes, I’m right. You know I am. Fucking sucks. Got a top-of-the-line MAC OS 10.68 here, so it’s not me. I know, “Calm down Rick.” I don’t want to. It’s us against them.
The question addressed (and answered I believe) here is how can atheists avoid despair knowing that this existence is finite… you don’t, as one philosopher said about Christian belief in an after-life, simply “change horses and ride on.” A similar question put to atheists is how can people be “good” without religion to keep them in line? One book that is helpful on this question is Morality Without God? by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong.
