Attention beacause them, or in the cause of this child, their parents are narcissists that care for nothing but status. Its actually pretty sad to imagine their pathetic lives.

Because if the Christian God existed, everything that happens happens according to His will. He existed before you or anyone could become an Ubermensch and "kill Him," so He could stop you before you or anyone even tried. It is impossible for the obvious reasons that have been discussed in this thread countless times; God is omnipotent and omniscient.

>They don't really. They just find it comforting to believe that such a being does not exist here.
And this understanding is based on what evidence?

>One believes one establishes communion, because the belief is useful.
No, communion is felt, not believed. If you read one page detailing the life of a holy man you'd know that, but you slander such men, saying they are "deluded" and "God is not real," because you envy their holiness and yes, even their weakness.

>I'm actually talking about the OT more than the NT.
The OT represents Christianity? Perhaps you are describing the Pharisees

>And yet they refuse to believe that the ubermensch, who is God's appearance on earth, can exist. So, why reject the ubermensch?
They do believe in Jesus Christ, who is God and man, so they do believe in the Ubermensch. But they do not believe that Nietzsche's Ubermensch can exist, who is likely not Jesus Christ, otherwise Nietzsche would be a Christian. But no, he is not so.

>I'm not God?
God wishes not for the despicable to be smitten, but for the despicable to be saved. And if you are not God, then you can never be God; this is not assertion, but fact. If God exists, and has prepared an end to history, you will never have enough time for petty "eugenics" or "transhumanism," which will never make you a God anyway. You will only expand horizontally, not vertically.

>As a human communicates with another human.
Are you thick? I asked what it means for "God to communicate with everyone." There's no reason for a Christian to despise the fact that God "talks to everyone." Talks about what? I gave a better example in my post of a resentful person.

You can never kill God, only yourself.

Exactly. But that is a dedicated path- to have a choice between the facile obvious (the path continues off into the meaningless right) or the intuited left.

Yes, life is insecure. You can make it to the end.

Naivete is a little word in the face of the spiritually inclined. Am I naive for trusting millions of years of humans who have had spiritual experiences and continue to do so, despite the growlingly shrill and scattered attempts by reductionists to attribute everything to some magical, convenient "psychosomatic cause" or "self-suggested hallucination?" Am I really so contemptible for holding a mere IDEA, that this world has a hidden path, and that it can be reached.

>Don't ignore the pain the tens of millions of loved ones suffered
So it's all utilitarian calculus now? What if scientists create a creature that can only experience pleasure? Is this world vindicated by virtue of that hedon-generating creature?

>i'm not worshipping any "God" that shows no evidence of his own existence
He has shown evidence and a way to Him. But whether or not your worship a God is beyond your control, it seems. I suggest taking medications.

>nd was a failing father overall placing me into so many situations of pointless suffering with no positive side in sight and so many depression inducing conundrums outside of my control
He put you in this situation? Why are you so afraid to assume responsibility for your actions? That is no problem, your pointless suffering is good, and will serve its purpose in the bigger picture. The lack of a "positive side" is a product of your mentality; you are only not making a change in your life because you've erroneously convinced yourself you can do nothing, that everything is outside of your control.

They only killed the Jews because they thought doing so would decrease world suffering. They believed the Jews were evil parasites who infiltrated the media, the press, banking, all to the disadvantage of the goyim.

Of course, their utilitarianism prioritized the pleasure and suffering of the white man, with no care for Jews. Utilitarianism can be preferential like that, depending on the person.

What if I don't find my body perishing as intolerably painful as you claim it is? An anti-natalist indubitably would, so they should probably euthanize themselves as soon as possible to prevent causing pain to others and themselves in the future. I doubt anyone would miss them. If it is "beyond their control" to kill themselves, it shows that they do not fear death or suffering enough to kill themselves; an animal caught in a trap will chew its leg off. These people obviously don't believe in their ideology to the fullest, it's just a lashing out at mom and dad.

>Why do men have to unprovokedly BE trash to people like me?
They can't help it, it's beyond their control. You just have to take it, or don't. It doesn't matter either way, it's all beyond your control. If you ever publish a book, don't bother publishing it in your name; you didn't publish it, it was your environmental impulses and biological impulses that created the book.

>The "sky fairy" thing is a metaphor for the lack of evidence or logical arguments for "God"
Why does matter and energy exist? Why do the laws of nature exist, and why is there order?

>really illustrates how much antinatalists wanna dodge an actual debate and resort to humiliation
Finally something we can agree on.

>I can't kill myself because I am too weak to do it; I can't choose to do anything in my life
Very well, I reproduce because I can't not reproduce. I can't choose to not reproduce
