Religion plays a huge part in what we develop to be like. However, it is a topic of vast amounts of variables, its boundless rather, and I don't really want to start investigating it thoroughly. Generally if you don't believe in gods you don't believe in afterlife as well. I know there are plenty of people who do believe in either one of these or both, but they do not really concern me. I do neither and I am in no way worried about the world. Believing that life has no meaning does not lead to depression. Who came up with that idea? I know I'm not truly nihilistic but also not very far off. Being able not to worry is just about the best thing a human can wish for. And to be able to neglect the need for compassion, love and whatever else is true perfection of the mind.
I don't have any reason to dislike religion and its outcomes. It has been beneficial in many ways. Yet what I've come to believe in, has fortunately been my own decision and forgive me believers when I say: "I am superior to you"
I'm not a bad person: I am well-mannered and nice and all... Me pursuing nihilism, as a positive quality, is what distinguishes us and makes me greater, even if only in my own eyes.
And yes, I am also narcissistic, as indicated be the prior thoughts.
But even that is a good quality.
There's a really huge amount of people we 'weird people' like to call the grey mass. People with a psychological disorder called groupthink. Groupthink is a type of thought within a deeply cohesive in-group whose members try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing and evaluating ideas. The 'individual' in such a group avoids conflict and differentiating at all costs so as to fit in as a member. And this effect does not only apply to small groups, but for entire generations and masses connected via a social network within huge areas.
Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness, as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained. We see it and we make fun of it. In reality its really sad. Some call the human life sacred... well I call us insects.
