    I’m not very religious either and I think you’re an idiot, since only idiots give up the potential for greatness, because they themselves forget to balance out the daily intake of negativity with positivity.

        A guy who willingly, consciously poisons himself with negativity and becomes a cancerous nihilist, who spreads his misery onto others, deserves no empathy. It’s pearls before swines.

        And you, kind sir, instead of being judgmental towards me, feel free to put that energy into fixing the nihilist, if you feel so empathetic.

          I can do both. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I try to never use insults to win arguments. Be the change you want to see in the world.

            I can do both.

            But you won’t. At best you’re gonna make some honey-sweet comment as the means of proving me wrong, offering fake sympathies, but you won’t progress much further. Because being judgmental towards others gives you a pleasure boost, at the cost of time, focus and energy that the process of helping others requires…

            So no. You won’t.

              Do you have something you want to talk/ vent about? I’ll listen 👂

              I’ll go first. Climate change scares the crap out of me.

                For that I have friends, family and - if need be - a specialist.

                Random people from the Internet, especially those that decide to use judgmental attitude as the means to start a conversation, aren’t particularly good choice for personal conversations.

                But there’s a guy in this thread you were so worried about, feel free to focus all your attention at him and bring him back to the light, so to speak.

                  Unfortunately I can’t do that. Because I agree with him. I wake up every day with hope for the world until climate change pushes me to despair. So I understand why some want it to end.

                    Then you’re an idiot yourself too, for only idiots decide consciously to stay in misery, possibly spreading it onto others, rather than find the way to live a better, happier life.

                    G’day.

              You’re literally judging others in these posts. You seem a little unhinged. Obtain meds, take them.

      That’s not idiocy so much as apathy. Apathy comes from repeated disappointment.

      Would you like to actually offer a counter-argument to my position? I’d be happy to discuss it. If you’re just going to sling ad hominem insults, I’m simply not interested.

        You have no position. You have only regrets, wrong opinions and false assumptions based on highly subjective and cherrypicked experiences.

        People like you disgust me, because you willingly poison yourselves with toxic content and pretend it’s all there is in the world.

          You call me a nihilist, but either you didn’t read what I said, or you don’t know what nihilism means.

          My position is that humans are making things worse for almost everything else on the planet, and that the planet as a whole would be better if we weren’t here anymore. I’m not really sure how much more clear I can make that. We destroy habitats, pollute everything we touch, we’re the cause of global warming, we’re only interested in extracting resources and have near complete disregard for the effects on everything else.

          You can make the point that there are people working to change this - and you’re right, there are, but that’s not a counter to the point I’m trying to make. We are, as a species, having a net negative impact on this planet, moreso than any other species. Change my mind.

              I see there’s not any discussion to be had here. Referencing a bible verse in an atheist community is probably not the best tactic, but that aside, I wish you the best, but I’m not going to engage with you further.

                There’s no discussion to be had with a nihilist who prays for the mankind to wipe out itself.

                You’re evil, like it or not. Perhaps not the kind of evil that the law persecutes, or army fights so that it does not invade its country, but evil nevertheless.

                And don’t worry, I’ll make sure you won’t ever have to interact with me in any way, by blocking you for the rest of eternity. Out of sight, out of mind…
