"I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature."
-Adolf Hitler

Atheists contemplate this daily. Many live by this and believe it wholeheartedly.
After all, why wouldn't they?

Man is just as cruel as nature.

There's absolutely no schism between man and nature. man IS natural.

Personally as a Nihilist I agree with this position. I also believe that if you are to be an Atheist then the most rational stance is to also be a Nihilist.

uhuh. Ok you have just enough food left to survive before the plane comes and picks you up off this desert island. You either eat it or you give it to your best friend's baby allowing him/her to survive. What do you choose? If you pick 'hurr durr the baby' you're a fucking liar

I see, so it all comes back to:

Social empathy doesn't mean you need to sacrifice yourself.
Also, define cruel.

>> No.3842534

>>3842515

There is nothing wrong with being even more cruel than nature your survival depends on it. But we should not be cruel without a very good reason.

Your arguments are completely invalid, the argument has already been won.

Why would we be liars if we picked the baby. I don't see how your religion has any bearing on this. Does being atheist automatically mean you value your life more than others?

Besides if I were really desperate I'd just eat the baby.

>> No.3842600

>>3842494
are you a faggot? if you say no then you're a liar

i'm pretty sure that water is more important than food and the baby would die without help either way

When it comes down to it, to me my survival is more important than a babys who doesnt know what the fuck it even is.

Same with any other animal.

"I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature."

Because it goes against our altruistic nature. This view would have been perspicuous to Adolf simply because of his lack of empathy and shallow emotions.
