would that change how you valued that thing? For instance, you love music, but you only have 5 minutes, in your whole life, to listen to it. Or let's say you loved bird watching, but you only had 5 minutes, rather than a lifetime, to watch the birds.
Seriously. Would you say "What the hell? I'll destroy the music and kill the birds! If I can't have them forever, they have no meaning to me!" Or would your very limited time with them make them even MORE precious?
How would you really respond? And, yes, this is how we Atheists feel when you ask us "If you don't believe in eternal life, why don't you kill yourself, kill all life?" Life is MORE precious to us because of it's brevity. Not less so.
Can you please explain how you think the brevity of life would make it MORE meaningless?
