As a side note: I hope you are not a christian/ religious person posing as an atheist to push this topic. I can feel it somehow. At the end of this thread you will "Come to the realization that the Holy Spirit + Jesus and his dad is the only true way to the meaning of life, because they promise immortality".

Iliveforme:
What are you even talking about? What immortality? I am talking about existence as I know it and you are talking about immortality. Wtf is that?

My problem is the uselessness of everything at death. I do not believe in immortality as that is a nonsensical notion to have but I am simply troubled at the way life stops when we die.

And also, my first post here explained who I am and nowhere there did I promote or claim to be what you are saying. What rubbish.

Coming here to say stupid things to me is one thing I do not want. I already said you cannot help me and that much I can tell by reading the things you say. Even you are confused . please let me be.

CuteMadridista:
Seems we have the same suspicion. infact, that's why I didn't attend to this thread at all. Something tells me OP is a concern troll

OP, don't mind me though. I'm just passing by

Iliveforme:
I don't like being called an atheist like some kind of title. I just know that any diety or god in any form does not exist. All I have is me and all I do is me and this is the reason why I said I do not want the bullshitt talk from people like you. Already you are trying to sell Christianity to me. Wtf do I care about Christianity? I have a real situation here and you wave Christianity at me?

What makes a christian or whoever else better or different from me? Bugger off and take your Christianity with you.

Iliveforme:
Please bear with me. I have a rather popular moniker on nairaland but i am mostly in the politics section and sometimes stray into the religion section so in order to protect that moniker i had to open this new one in order to express my deepest thoughts and worries.

I come from a family that has never really been religious. I most certainly do not believe in any diety nor do i believe any exist so nobody should try and sell me that bullshitt. I have lived a fun and lively life and all has been majorly alright for me until about a month or so ago.

Like i said, since about a month or so ago i have been burdened with this unseen load and thoughts that suggest to me that life as i know it and as everyone knows it is absolutely meaningless and holds no substance or value. I cannot lie but this thought has been tormenting me so much especially at those times when i found myself all alone. I mean whenever i am alone i suddenly start pondering on this even more.

I cannot begin to express the levels of stress and anxiety this has brought upon me to the extent, i find it hard to sleep and currently having constant nagging headaches.

I cannot deny that I have been deeply troubled by thoughts of everything ending in nothingness after I die. I mean i know that there is nothing else for me after i die but lately this does not sit well with me. I didnt ask to be born but here i am and i keep wondering if a deeply conscious human like me deserves to just die and then nothingness and this has given me great distress.

I am 21 years old now and simply thinking about myself being dead maybe when i would be 70 or 80 and nothing after i die despite all i have been through and my many pursuits distresses me even more. I am deeply troubled by this reality of how short and difficult life is and then i end up ultimately dying and everything ending when i die.

I have been reliving this pain and distressful thoughts daily for about a month now and it gets worse when i chance upon the news or pictures or videos of people who died. I use the internet like everyone else so cannot avoid coming upon such distressing news and often in very gruesome detail.

Nairaland lately has been all gore and the rate of death news that hits the front page gets me thinking that those people who died, i could have been one of them and it scares me shitless.

Going further, people or situations or places that used to offer me some degree of relief and comfort like advancement of civilization, my family and relatives, my buddies and so on all appear totally meaningless and useless to me now.

How on earth can i get rid of these nagging feelings all around me and everywhere i look. It is seriously haunting me and bringing me daily pain and anxiety. The feelings and thoughts are too strong.

I confided in a friend and he told me to think positive and tried to tell me that i have so much to live for and he even joked with me that i am handsome, physically fit, intelligent, and would soon be a graduate in flying colours.

However, despite all of this it all still boils down to all being meaningless. People more handsome and more intelligent and better fit than I am have all died so what's special about my looks or my physique or my academics when at the end of the day I will still die and cease to exist.

I am troubled. Sometimes when I am alone I hear voices telling me to end it all and be done with it that it is better to die early with less stress and pain than to die late despite the stress and pains. What is happening to me?

It is what I think

terrezo2002:
Life itself makes no sense without God. Solomon with all his glory and wealth sought for pleasure under the sun, but he found now and came to the conclusion that the only duty that will make your life meaningful here on earth is to fear God and obey His commandments.

Iliveforme:
I have considered all of this and all I keep meeting regardless of the angle I come from is that it is all meaningless. Why should I care for others when it is meaningless at the end of the day?

I know pain is inevitable but despite the pains, I still die and that's all there is.

Why should I make something so beautiful when ultimately its going to end in nothingness?

Maybe you think I am crazy but why do I even do the things I do when I would one day no longer be around to enjoy it or appraise it? It just does not make any sense.

Dalaman, your brother in atheism says life is meaningless and everything is useless?

Iliveforme:
I think I have seen enough. Nobody here can help me. Nobody seems wants to deal with the reality of our failed existence despite knowing that the moment we are born we start walking towards our death.

Some say its the journey that makes it all worthwhile but wtf is a journey without an end in view and why the journey since I know it will all end soon.

Another says its death that makes life worth living. How is this even possible? I live and I die and you say death makes my living meaningful?

Another comes to sell me a spiritual bullshitt and some christian mumbo jumbo despite warning that I do not want that crap. We all live and we all die and that's it.

I have been so depressed and bothered and I think I now know what to do. At least that one I can control.

Thank you everyone and fuckkk you all too for nothing I even say makes sense or matters in the long run so I may as well cuss you all out while I leave.

This is my problem too. Existence is meaningless. Everyone is chasing after things they will drop dead and let go anytime. What future can there be when already there is only an end. This is my struggle and its killing me

CAPSLOCKED:

SAY THAT TO THE PEOPLE OF ICELAND, DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, SWEDEN AND MANY OTHER NATIONS WHOSE RELIGIOUS CITIZENS ARE LESS THAN 1%... NOT EVEN CHRISTIANS AT THAT.

TayserMahiri:
That is true to the objective and balanced mind but you dont want to say it to unstable souls like the OP. That statement, like religious faith can justify anything so you want to say it to people who you perceive as mentally "balanced". Atheism suffers the same problem that religious zealots bring.

And never say my brother in atheism. There is no 'atheism as a kind of religion'. We may agree on a few things with the guy but trust me we differ in a million more. And that is because we are normal humans. It may surprise you but I would never, and have never got into a 'chama' of atheists. I consider it nonsense.

Where did you hear that their religious citizens are less than 1%

In Iceland, more than 71.6% of the population belongs to the state church (the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland) according to wikipedia.

In Denmark, Evangelical Lutheran (official) 76%, Muslim 4% and others

In Netherlands, 26% of the population identify as Roman Catholic, 16% as Protestant, 5% as Muslim, and other denominations

In Sweden, The Lutheran Church of Sweden — which was the state religion— has a registered membership of 6.1 million Swedish citizens, equal to 61.2% of the total population. Wikipedia.

Why do you, dalaman and the rest like to lie. Which country in the world has a religious population of less than 1%? NONE!!!
Stop visiting bullshit atheist websites.

How can you say something is true without proving it?

I didn't say atheism is a kind of religion, but definitely you people got your backs like brothers. Atheist brothers is not as bad as you think it is

...SAYS THE MAN WHO VISITS BULLSHIT RELIGIOUS WEBSITES, AND WIKI.. WHERE ANYONE CAN WRITE ANYTHING.


VISIT THE FORUMS OF THE PEOPLE IN THOSE COUNTRIES AND INTERACT WITH THEM EVEN ON FACEBOOK OR IG, YOU'LL KNOW.

THERE ARE CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE ACCORDING TO DUMB STATISTICS, BUT HOW MANY OF THEM PRAY AND WORSHIP IN CHURCH?

THOSE STATS COULD BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING BORN INTO RELIGIOUS HOMES, THEY LATER DECONVERT IMMEDIATELY THEY START TO REASON FOR THEMSELVES.

ON PAPER AFTER CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM YOU'LL FIND ATHEISM AS THE LARGEST GROUP.

WHEREAS THOSE STATS ARE WRONG BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE CONVERT AND DECONVERT EVERY TIME. FORGET WIKIPEDIA, READ THE NEWS. VISIT THEIR BLOGS AND INTERACT WITH PEOPLE YOU SEE ON THE INTERNET.

THE 10 (OR MORE) INDIAN FRIENDS I'VE MADE ON THE WEB TOLD ME THEY'RE NONRELIGIOUS, BUT IDENTIFY WITH DIFFERENT RELIGIONS FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES, MAYBE FOR WORK OR BECAUSE OF SCHOOL.. OR TO AVOID PUBLIC RIDICULE. SO FORGET THE STATISTICS. BECAUSE WE DON'T MOVE IN NIGERIA DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES AREN'T MOVING.

RELIGION DEPENDS ON HOW ADVANCED A COUNTRY IS. IF WE GET TO THE HEIGHTS OF CHINA OR SWITZERLAND TODAY WE'LL REPLACE PRAYERS WITH SO MANY THINGS THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.

Animal!!!

After I disproved your bullshit you resort to story telling, same thing dalaman does

How can you say Religion depends on how advanced a country is? Are you normal?

Before I reply you let me ask if dalaman or TayserMahiri agrees with you

DALAMAN DO YOU AGREE THAT RELIGION DEPENDS ON HOW DEVELOPED A COUNTRY IS?

THAT RELIGION THRIVES MORE IN POOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES COMPARED TO ALREADY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES?


YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CURSE ME. I GUESS THAT'S THE REASON WHY NOBODY LIKES TO ENGAGE WITH YOU FOR MORE THAN A SENTENCE. YOU'RE DULL.

Iceland that has 72% Christians is not developed?? Or China that has more number of Christians thdan Nigeria is not developed??

Okay, let me wait for dalaman to come give his answer
