Some atheists claim that there is no free will anywhere in the universe, yet we can still hold people morally accountable for their actions. Also, Calvinist predestination is morally repugnant somehow.
The universe is nothing but dead matter swirling around in a gigantic vacuum, with life being a cosmic accident, yet our lives have intrinsic worth and meaning. Despite us not having any free will. Because everything is just swirling matter in a vacuum.
Oh, and one day we´ll conquer the stars and walk among them like demigods. Until entropy kills us all. Unless we re-appear quadrillions of years into the future as Bolzmann brains. Oh, and the future doesn´t exist either. You know, B-theory of time and all that.
So meaning and love can exist in a universe where meaning and love cannot exist. Gee, what a mindjob! I mean, what do you *say* to a thing like that?
I don´t have anough faith to be an atheist.
