Default Re: If There Is No God

[ QUOTE ]
Why would a man care for the answer of why he exists if he believes that after death it will be turned into nothingess?

People can discover whatever they will in the future, but that does not change the final scenario that death presents.

Why does a man want to continue to live even in the state of grave pain if death can take it all away and will eventually happen anyway, perhaps at a worse time?

[/ QUOTE ]

I do not know why man has the urge to continue to live when very ill, or why we actively try to avoid death.

I do not know why we even exist in the first place, which is a prerequisite to ever being in a position to suffer, nor do I know why suffering exists.

I do know that I am not going to make the assumption that I know when I do not. I also know that concluding that a higher power is the reason is not going to lead to man finding answers to these types of questions.
