Another perspective on feeling your life is insignificant:

Human history is one big stage production. Some people have roles on the stage. But most of us are in the audience, just sitting and not doing much. But you can't have the show without the audience.

That is a terrible perspective. People are enmeshed in a massive network of interpersonal connections.


Your actions, that effect other people, effect how they effect other people and can have enormous far reaching significance.


We are not just watching the world, we are the world. Indeed, the "people" on the stage, are in the positions they are because of the support of us.

4th century christianity falsely prophesies all beings are hopeless sinners requiring a messiah to save them, all christians live unfulfilled lives as sinners till their deaths as well in their paradise as they continue to worship their idol.

* no one in the 1st century believed or even thought to think they were hopeless sinners - they dreamed of being free from bondage the true message of that time, the very dream removed by christianity.

I might take up smoking myself. I was bar hopping Los Angeles with my sister and I smoked a few cigarettes and it wasn't too bad.

Grow up you old crybaby, no one in their right mind takes up smoking at 54. See a shrink you are severely disoriented

I do see a shrink. She tells me my problems aren't really problems compared to her other patients. She sees women who are abused by their husbands, stuff like that.

Sounds like a really shitty shrink.

IF what he said is true.....I rather doubt it.

Telling someone their problems aren't real, because other people have worse problems, is the act of an incompetent asshole.

...who should have her license pulled for malpractice.

as an atheist I strive to be a better person;

I'm pleasant and conversational with everyone I interact with throughout the day
I help people when i can
I discarded outdated and irrational attitudes towards gays and accept them fully in society
I don't judge ALL muslims or christians just because SOME of them behave badly
I never fart in public
I hold doors for EVERYONE, including ladies who refuse to acknowledge my existence

You can choose to not address that, but in doing so, you will be implicitly conceding your previous point.

If a doctor told me tomorrow I was dying of cancer, my reaction would be

beating feet down to the Walgreens and buying a carton of Camel filters... Quit 7 years ago and after smoking for 43 years the urge still hits me like a big ole Freightliner Semi... I do not fear death and with the way the world is changing...

I might take up smoking myself. I was bar hopping Los Angeles with my sister and I smoked a few cigarettes and it wasn't too bad.

If you have nothing to lose, maybe some weed?
