I have frankly never believed in the absolute value of life, C.
To me, life must be valued in qualitative terms like everything else.
That's why I loathe the fact that euthanasia is illegal.
Our nation has FAR TOO MUCH TOLERANCE for human suffering.
We treat our pets better, and they're not genetically that much different from us.
In my view, life becomes a net negative experience when the rewards don't adequately compensate the travails.
I have no arguments to discredit your view, of course.
I just feel differently about it.

let go and let god.
I agree.
there's only one set of footprints in the sand and they aren't mine.

Yet my belief in an infinite universe makes that actually more probable than just possible.
The real difference is that I have no problem thinking that,
and what's more, a very hard time imagining anything else.
I admittedly lack the knowledge to present an argument for or against either position,
but using what appears logical to me, I honestly think that everything is random,
that including our emotional feelings that the opposite is true.
In my feelings, I certainly do love my wife, my kids, and my dog.
I merely suspect that my feelings could possibly be just random, electronic brain activity.

what's irrational bout randomness?

cypress is always overthinking it.
he's an idiot basically.
there is randomness in the world, but order too, if we make it so.
religion is valuable for it's social order advice, not it's miracles.
Einstein was a Jew! One of YHWH's Chosen People!

God The Father Almighty. The one you try to deny every day.What god did Einstein believe in, anyway?
Einstein “was a pantheist who maintained certain Jewish traditions,” and he preferred to be called an agnostic and disliked militant atheists.
"I want to know God’s thoughts,” Albert Einstein once said. “The rest are mere details.” True quote. But what did Einstein mean by “God”?
He was raised a Jew, and likely believed in the God of Abraham . . . at least for a while. So folk like to claim him as one of their “own.” But then, so do atheists.
In truth, Einstein was likely at neither extreme, according to this new article at Big Think. The article cites a 1936 letter a sixth-grade girl wrote to Einstein, asking, “Do scientists pray, and what do they pray for?”
In his reply, Einstein wrote, “Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is surely quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.”
Scholars generally agree that the theoretical physicist was an actual pantheist, believing that God is “in everything,” or that all is “at one with God.” In particular, as Einstein once told a rabbi, “I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.”
Big Think concludes that Einstein “was a pantheist who maintained certain Jewish traditions,” and that he “preferred to be called an agnostic and disliked militant atheists.

Einstein believed in the unseen—like gravitational waves, ripples in space and time. Now, we can see this, as shown by the 2017 Nobel Prize physics winners.bigthink.com
Your case is a sad case. I will not engage further in your white dogshit turd of a thread. You can bank that.
Stop denying God, dickweed.
