Reality is evil

[gmark77]

Why am I not a nihilist?
You must be the life of the party.

As per usual you can’t explain your beliefs or why you hold them . That’s just sad

 

[Hume]

I don't think science, philosophy, religion have ever concluded that a human life, the universe, and everything is 'nothing more' than entropy destined for a final 'horror' of oblivion.

That entire statement is loaded with emotive value judgments which are not supported by either scientific or religious consensus.

Which is why it is philosophical and not scientific.

Whoever said reality is benevolent?

Most Christians.

 

[Hume]

Living organisms reverse entropy....for periods of time and thats what life is.

And that is what he talks about in the article.

 

[martin]

Most Christians.

No, not that reality is benevolent but that God in his benevolence created a reality we can well live in, assuming we don't drown, get crushed, blown away, burned to crisp, etc

 

[Hume]

No, not that reality is benevolent but that God in his benevolence created a reality we can well live in.

God is not reality?

 

[martin]

God is not reality?

Not unless He's a forest fire, among other such things. Do you live here?

You believe God has nothing to do reality?!

 

[martin]

You believe God has nothing to do reality?!

I just said the word is he created it.

The value judgement that 'nothing matters' but the slow decay of entropy and a date with the final 'horror' of oblivion is just a psychological state of mind.
It's not a truth claim, and doesn't even remotely approach a claim on truth.

 

[Freddy Figbottom]

I agree. As I noted earlier I think the really hard part for humans to understand is that reality is indifferent. To many a mind that is often indistinguishable from "evil".

We don't often call reality "evil".

We say its indifferent though.

Evil and good are reserved for beings with souls.

Someone's in denial

 

[Into the Night]

The truth is that reality is not nearly so benevolent. Like everything else that exists – stars, microbes, oil, dolphins, shadows, dust and cities – we are nothing more than cups destined to shatter endlessly through time until there is nothing left to break. This, according to the conclusions of scientists over the past two centuries, is the quiet horror that structures existence itself.

Everything eats and is eaten. Everything destroys and is destroyed. It is our moral duty to strike back at the Universe

That means YOU are evil, Hugo.

Okay, Hugo. Let's hear your argument.

 

[Into the Night]

God is not reality?

Depends on who you ask.

Entropy does not decay.

Whoever said reality is benevolent? (Not that it's "evil".)

reality isn't benevolent, but people are, good people that is.

evil means "bad people".

think of it like that.

Most Christians.

no. Christians believe there is much evil in the world.

there's good and then there's evil.

only the evil seek to destroy the difference or denigrate the concept.

Except that Christians can’t resolve evil with an omni-everything god. A real problem for the thinking Christian. Many are not, however.
