Science doesn't pretend to know all the answers or to be infalllible. And stop with 'you're smarter than me' bollocks. Because it is bollocks. The fact that someone disagrees with something you've said doesn't mean that you haven't said it in an articulate and well written way. *slaps tril upside the head*

I'm coming back to this, because you have set out one of the most fundamental points of disagreement between most atheists and most people of faith. What I do here has whatever meaning I or others place on my actions. I am a human being who has empathy and the ability to future pace my actions and their likely consequences. Why be 'good'? Because it makes for a more pleasant world and a more pleasant life if people are generally good and kind. Because my monkey brain appreciates social order and reciprocity. Because it matters at some indefinable way how we leave the world for future generations and it matters in more definable ways how we shape the world right now.

I had Death Fear today.
Partly from reading this thread. Partly because I heard about a couple of 45-47 who were splitting up. "Oh well" I thought, "I suppose they have time to find someone else." OMG - they're practically my age and I wrote them off as relationship OAPs! I'm still closer to 40 than 50 but I see no way out of my current situation. I don't want a relationship, or children. I just want to be well and have friends. And money enough to enjoy both. But the clock is ticking. I fear leaving life unhappy, unfulfilled, a failure. Shit.

Tril I would absolutely believe in your ability to see things the machines don't.

So you're uncomfortable with the possibility all your dead friends and relatives are watching you masturbate.

no meds for about a week due to no money (see the baby shower fiasco for that) I won't budget, I won't get off my arse and do something good for someone. I am tired, old and want to sleep. Not so very lovely; not so very deep.

Tril, you really need a job. Something nice and easy and social...like retail. A cashier at Lowes. I loved that job because I talked with the customers all the time. Being alone after that was not being lonely.
Or take your new dog out for a long walk everyday no matter what the weather. Do something and get out of your head. Pronto.
