Understanding Absurdism, and what makes the most sense in the lonely bubble I live in.
The Absurd" refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent meaning in life and the human inability to find any.In this context absurd does not mean "logically impossible"but rather "humanly impossible". Absurdism philosophy which holds that human existence is meaningless and irrational and that any attempt to understand the universe will ultimately fail.
Humans live in a meaningless isolation in an alien universe; existentialism where beings move from nothingness they will end life with (life is hard, then you die); illogic, inconsistency, nightmarish fantasy.
While the definition of an atheist is widely known, what being an absurdist means may be less common knowledge. A philosophy, often translated into art forms, holding that humans exist in a meaningless irrational universe and that any search for order by them will bring them into direct conflict with the universe.
"I don't actually have anything against other individuals religious views unless their beliefs preclude everyone else's. People who have faith, tend to think that people who don't have faith, don't have a belief system, and they don't care if they make fun of them. It's actually very difficult, Atheists as a group are not really recognized by the American public as people to be taken seriously. This does not mean that I rail against religion, however, the meaning of life and the meaning of what we do with our lives is something that is extremely important to me. I am interested in the concept of faith, I think faith is an extraordinary thing, I would like to have some...but I don't,
and that's just how that works.,Generally speaking, I don't think you can discount the book and what he has to say. I think he is an extraordinary compassionate wise and decent man or a
wise and decent corpse. So this is my statement, the world is meaningless nothing of it matters. I believe the only reality is how we treat each other. The morality comes from the absence of any
grander scheme, not from the presence of any grander scheme."
