Quote from: SecondClass on November 24, 2015, 06:26:28 PMPersonal purposes are all that exist. There is no objective grand purpose for all of humanity - we're just flesh and blood, a result of evolution. Consciousness was an evolutionary misstep, and it causes humans to dream up all of these big questions like "why are we here" and "what's our purpose as a species". But in reality those questions are answered with "no reason", "nothing". I'm not saying morality isn't objective, as things like causing suffering are definitely immoral on an inherent scale - but that doesn't go along with a species wide purpose for humanity.Did you not read my post? We are the ones who MAKE the grand purpose.

Hating people for parts of themselves they can't control is the ultimate evil
