I don't really think its normal for 15 year old's to think like this, but I just can't get these thoughts out of my mind. I hate when I can't get a question answered, and honestly, if I didn't have a family I would actually want to die just to see if there really is a heaven or if I shall rot in the ground. These are the same questions every single human has been tangling with for generations. This is why you will never find an answer for these questions. Make up your own answers, or forget about it.

but as i said, humans naturally worry about the future so from the current perspective, it IS grim because people fear utter emptiness | ||

it's not terrifying but just extremely sobering peaceful? it's peaceful when i am chilling on my couch, beer in my hand, watching flash pwn noobs so i definietly had these thoughts when i was younger but now distractions and general stress distract me from it but think of this: let's say there is a higher plane of existence for your afterlife but imagine really what it would be like to exist forever? based on my existence on earth, i cannot wrap my head around it, and it's frankly a even more terrifying prospect than not existing at all so idk, either way, it's not looking too swell but maybe that has to do with the fact that it's finals week | ||

"Define religion". The core of it all is belief. Among the words that are part of the core we have. Meaning, goals, wanting, doing, living for. But the first part of all in life and religion is believing. Perhaps that's all it is. Perhaps religion isn't churches and words. Perhaps the atheist is religous as well. Perhaps religion is life. | ||

Being depressed is ok you feel how you feel. Don't let yourself be convinced things are worse than they really are. Things will change especially if you try to change them. | ||

No happiness, no sadness. NOTHING. This outlook on life SUCKS. With this mindset, there's no point in doing anything, 'cuz we're al gonna die anyeays' . Ask yourself: do you really feel that this could be true, do you feel that there's no reason for it all, that when we die nothing happens, just nothing. Can you come to terms with that idea, or are you uncomfortable with it. If you feel that there might be something wrong with the mindset laid out above, then believe that, believe that the useless train of thoughts, going nowhere, saying that 'there is nothing at the end of it all' is a bunch of bullshit.

Hopefully you'll find the logic and reasoning behind scientific arguments more convincing than arguments of intelligent design. Respect to Superiorwolf, but none to his judgment. Would you entrust the shape, path, direction and reason for your entire life to some internet troll? I hope you're not that stupid. If you're curious, its ok. What you need to do is ASK: Matthew 7: 7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Look here Go to a local church, or other place of religious, worship and talk to people. Trust me, they will be overjoyed to just listen to you, they'll be so happy you came [personal experience]. Then I dare you to 1) find and 2) talk to someone promoting the idea that we should worship nothing (or was it science we should worship? pfft) -> atheistic, and see how they treat you. I have found that the atheistic ones are much more condescending, arrogant and militant in expressing their views, asn the religious ones are more open, caring and listening. Well then I guess that all the atheists in my city are meanies... | ||

It makes life choices sooo much less stressful knowing that it's not going to matter when i die. the meaning of life personally i see two ways to approach the meaning of life on a rational basis. one is to know life as what it is, a form of matter occupied with procreating itself. this means that the purpose of life is to live, and the purpose of the animal called 'human' is to spread human life. but this purpose is not 'a human one', because it ignores that which makes us human. we are intelligent beings, capable of reasoning and making plans and capable of awareness greater than that of any other species. thought and the intentional creation of things and thus the creation of purpose, on this planet, are solely the human domain. since life probably ends with the death of your body i would advise you to find something that is greater than you, something that will last to beyond your death - an idea, a goal, a project or maybe just the memories you can give to other people - and use that to make your life objectively useful. i can tell you though that not many people reach that point, as the vastest piece of the human population does not care about things that dont affect them. many people are also happy with just enjoying life, which is perfectly fine, but it is no different from living in the matrix and i dont think that that is something people honestly wish for. i know i wouldnt. | ||

posting it on a forum however, is only going to rile up the devout christians and devout atheists no matter what you choose to believe, try not to give up on reason and logic, they exist for a reason. there's literally no way to tell what will happen after death for sure, so just make life as awesome as you can, however you choose to define awesome (hopefully its not a) being depressed b) harming others c) harming yourself d) any linear combination of the above) + Show Spoiler + i know this is a really simple form of existentialism, if you think i shouldnt be giving this kind of advice then pm me | ||

Though it's pretty impossible to grasp since things have to come from somewhere, but just accept it's beyond our understanding and move on! | ||
