A Dark Apologetic

so far we have gone over the total lack of objectivity within the worldview of atheism. Empathy, whether it is emotional or cognitive, is subjective, as it is a choice, an act of will, to use one's cognitive empathy, and our emotional empathy is conditioned by various external as well as some internal influences. Society doesn't provide one with an objective moral standard either, as this is nothing but a collection of individual subjective "feelings" and opinions. Then there is the "evolutionary drive for survival," which really only pushes us to reproduce and survive as a species and very little to do with right and wrong, but even when considering the most fruitful actions you're still left with a lot of grey area and opinion, not to mention the society that would actually provide the best fruits would certainly not be a liberal one. The consequences or effects being good or bad are in the first place subjective, it's all within the eye of the beholder, and you're still not objectively obligated to go by this, you're not truly (objectively) immoral for not acting in a way that produces the most well-being in society. Let's look at the first premises: "Premise One: Objective meaning, purpose and morality does not exist in the worldview of atheism. All existential and moral beliefs are opinions, not truths. No particular existential and moral belief is true over another's, all are equal in value." This has been clearly established. As you can see, I have not argued for the existence of existential and moral objectivity, I have in fact done the opposite by declaring that it does not exist. There is no proposition for its existence, therefore I have no reason to argue for it. Now the second premise: "Premise Two: Mere intellectual affirmation in the non-existence of God is not the end of atheism. One must also purify one's mind of any existential and moral beliefs which are in and of themselves objective through self-analyzation and being mindful of one's thoughts and words." What I mean by intellectual affirmation is not the end is that within your mind there inevitably exists existential and moral objectivity. This is very easy to determine, simply ask and atheist or irreligious person whether or not it is true (objective) that murder, theft, rape and genocide is immoral, and they immediately respond that it is. Those lacking God never actually face the consequences of their faith, they instead continue to live and see as though He exists. It is absolutely necessary for God to exist to have existential and moral objectivity, and this is obvious by the fact that only we self-aware, thinking and intelligent beings are capable of considering these concepts in these concepts in the first place. A tree doesn't think about the meaning of life, neither does a dog or a monkey, so it logically follows that at the foundation of reality there exists a self-aware, thinking and intelligent mind necessary for it to be imbued with meaning, purpose and morality. Unless someone is able to provide an alternative that is, I have yet to encounter such a one. Here we arrive at the third premise: "Premise Three: Throughout the process of purification, you will eventually find yourself in a world that is utterly depraved and void of substance. You will soon see more clearly what the worldview of atheism proclaims, and begin contemplating suicide." You might wonder as to what I mean by the "process of purification." It's not that complicated to understand. We each have a particular mindset-outlook, a way we are inclined to think, see and behave in the world. For example, the way one thinks in the Christian west is inevitably going to be different to the way one thinks in the Muslim east. all of us are inclined towarsds seeing our moral standard in an objective manner by believing their moral values and duties to be right regardless of what anyone thinks (objective). This is to contradict the rational truth of one lacking the only possible source for existential and moral objectivity, thereby making one irrational. You can obtain a rational mindset-outlook through the practice of self-analyzation and mindfulness. Imagine if you will a glass of dirty water. These practices are like drops of purifying chemicals which clear way the muck and grime (irrationality). One who does not practice this is bound to have a dirty glass of water. If atheism came with rituals and practices which instead of orienting the believer towards holiness like with Theism, to rationality, there wouldn't be many atheists, but a lot of nooses. And this is why we come to the conclusion: "Conclusion One: You are left with three options, nihilism, irrationality or faith. Either you will find yourself with a noose around your neck, living in the worldview of theism without justification or putting your trust in God." Nihilism is inevitable. Those lacking God already suffer from this, but in a more subtle way. Only through practicing what they preach do they activate this inner truth of theirs and begin actually seeing and thinking in a way that conforms to it. And should they not, then they are simply irrational, living as though the sky daddy and faeries (existential and moral objectivity) exists while rejecting them at the same time. If you actually live pure nihilism, with no delusions, you will contemplate suicide. Disagree? Well practice what you preach, actually get to the other shore instead of remaining in ours before you disagree. The first option allows you to be consistent, but far from happy. The second makes you inconsistent, but happy. The third gives you both consistency and happiness. It's up to you to decide. Both of us debaters havent exactly been proper or formal, but then again, we know each other outside of this site. I ask you voters to really consider what has gone on here, consider both sides and ask yourself who actually had the better argument. Read the irrationality spewing from the words of Con, you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Living with or without God is very hard, it's when you live in the grey that you're irrational. "Atheists, practice what you preach, look within, self-analyze, be mindful, purify yourself of existential and moral objectivity, become one with your rational truth and embrace suicide." - Tyler Newkirk
