An atheist philosophy of life, per Albert Camus

[Hume]

Another meaningless thread that adds no value beyond one WACKY opinion previously held by a long-since deceased person.

^^Nothing but meaninglessness.

It's amazing that you continue to believe that you are omnipotent and that you can simply declare of what others are unaware. Please remember that you don't even know what an atheist is.

Delusions of Grandeur.

Suicide becomes escapist and an act of cowardice.

That would make Jesus a coward. And Socrates as well.

Giving your life for other people, or for a higher principle is not considered suicide.

That's why Socrates, Jesus, and the soldier who willingly fell on a grenade to save friends are generally held in esteem

Jesus was warned and could have lived to a natural death. Socrates chose death, similarly defying the government. Willful suicides.

You didn't give any "fuck you" to indicate that you actually believe what you are posting.

Your free to call it whatever you want.

Jesus and Socrates both made clear their deaths were based on a higher principle, something that would either benefit other people, or serve the cause of truth and integrity.

To me that is qualitatively different than the dude who jumps in front of a train because his girlfriend broke up with him.

So, they both chose to be put to death.

Dying for your beliefs or principles sounds like martyrdom to me.

Suicide is willful death.
