Do you believe in ESP?

[Elecro]

So you're an agnostic theist?

Pretty much, yeah.

[Ad Bot]

[Electrk²]

I'm a bit of a nihilist.

That must suck.

[allyorbase]

Pretty much, yeah.

/facepalm

[Blastdown]

That must suck.

not really
life doesn't require a purpose

[Axolotl2]

Life's purpose is what we decide it to be. There are undefined variables, and they most frequently occur in the field of our own existence.

Okay so
once my dad showed me a Cyanide and Happiness comic. A few months later, he showed me the same comic. I told him he'd showed me it before but he said he'd never seen it before and it was posted that day.
I still don't know what kind of stuff was going down


As for ESP, I suppose it's possible. Our universe is batstuff insane.

[T0XIC]

I bumped my head many times.

If Dante says he's a nihilist, then I'm worried about what I am...

I guess I'd consider myself a (Warning: Hypocritical in many ways) Nihilistic theist.

Quite the combo, no?

I can make up labels too!

[Acerblock]

I don't exactly believe in ESP.

But I will admit I have de javu'd before. Weird stuff.

New discussion: Existentialism vs. Nihilism

I prefer existentialism because nihilism makes me alienated from my own mind.

New discussion: Existentialism vs. Nihilism

I find existentialism better because nihilism makes me sad

why does life need a personal meaning or purpose?

[Electrk²]

why does life need a meaning or purpose?

Life is what you make it. Whatever you decide to do with your life is what life is.

[allyorbase]

This debate is one of my favorites, one reason is that I love the whole "brain in a vat" idea. Does anything really matter?

[Blastdown]

believing you need a reason to live sounds like a mental barricade
restraining yourself to a single ideal of your choosing

on the other hand, it might give you a goal to do in the meaninglessness
