I’m trying this add-on with Firefox on my Ubuntu netty. We’ll see how it goes!
Life, the Universe and facing our own insignificant amazingness…
I just wrote this because it’s one of the subjects that always astounds me, and it’s one of the things that ultimately turned me into an atheist. Religion is so quick to try to explain everything so simplistically, and I’m sure that’s a huge comfort to people because it makes them feel like they have an understanding of reality, but it cuts them off at the knees. So many people defend religion through the assumed miracle of humanity and how special and important we must all be, but in the scope of things we’re not only insignificant, but potentially just a product of chance.
For me it dismisses religion as the final answer for existential questions of purpose and I think it makes our significance in our role on our planet more important and personal.

The fact that we’re alive against the backdrop of an incredibly vast universe makes me cherish humanity all the more—if we truly understood how amazing it is that we’re alive at all we wouldn’t be wasting time worrying about who is believing in God and who isn’t, or who’s sleeping with who, or whatever.
We’re alive despite the randomness, despite the vastness of space and we are worried about the most stupid of things 90% of the time.
Every single one of use is wasting our time in the universe. :\
