Reply to comment by ridgecoyote in A cross between an Existentialist and an Old Testament prophet, Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard urged his "single individual" reader to follow the "highest passion" of faith rather than becoming one of the stereotyped pseudo-individuals of "The Crowd" by thelivingphilosophy

i mean there is no meaning to 'life' other then reproduction (its on you to choose a meaning), evolution by definition has no purpose (if it doesnt stop you having kids its considered 'good' in evolution) and free will exists (the definitions used by philosophers are useless. libertarian free will is patently absurd, as is the idea that just because the universe is determined that all choices are magically not choices).

half the 'debates' here are far more moronic that half the shit the edgy atheists spew out.

I wish downvotes were used a bit more sparingly in the Philosophy sub. I mean is the main idea of philosophical discussion limiting things you disagree with? Maybe that’s where moronic arguments come from.
