Christians, did all Native American or Indigenous people go to hell before Jesus arrived?
They didn't know who Jesus was/is, how does that work? Or how about modern day tribes people in South America for example, they have never seen a Christian or even heard of old J. C., do they automatically go to hell too because they are not with the 'lords gang'? Just curious how that is rationalized.

Zero sum nihilism says that the world exists in a "zero sum state." If the entire universe were converted into energy, the sum would be zero. The theory is compatible with the existence of thinking minds (Cartesian "cogito") and with modern physics, in which mass is the main repository of positive energy and negative gravitational potential energy is the main negative energy in the universe.

The theory says that the present universe evolved by unknown mechanisms from the simplest zero sum state. This obviates the existence of god and the problems entailed by it, namely the origins of evil and free will and the contradictions between our expectations and our experience. Thus it is a simpler explanation of the world, in accord with Occam.

If zero sum nihilism is true, (1) violations of complete conservation laws are impossible, (2) nearly empty space is the rule, matter the exception, (3) evolution is from the simpler to the more complex, all of which we believe we observe.

Many believe science proves that love is just another emotion. A chemical reaction to something. Nothing more. I'm not here to dispute whether that's true or not. I just want to know, if you believe that to be true...

What do you live for??? And do you find that to be a little depressing (that that's all love is)???

Honesty isn't the most important thing, sometimes you need to think about why you are being honest and if it might be better to tell a lie instead.

True? False? Or something in between?

In my experience, there are two things that evidence to me that such is not the case.

First, people often say they believe something, then go on to take actions, or say other things, that contradict their statement of belief.

Secondly, in my experience, those who truly have conviction in what they believe, rarely evidence a need or desire to convince others. That is to say that, most arguments people make about what they believe, often seem to devolve into "convincing themselves" that what they are saying is in fact true.
