@truthfromtheword he wasn't an atheist. he believed in god, just not religion. i can't speak for Hicks, as far as what his purpose was, but i can tell you that there is more to life than ones faith and children. and every person's purpose is different. it's a common fallacy among religious people to think that man has no purpose if he doesn't believe in god.

he was an atheist . he did NOT believe in any fucking god, especially the one in the fucking bible.

@ZeroRed78 those people who delusionally see their own children as so very special. But the thing is, most ppl aren't so delusional. The specialness which they see is merely a love for the child. For most ppl this specialness is just sort of hoping for the best. Can you blame them? Most ppl realize limitations.

Hicks was probably just whining about mothers who go, "My little man is soooo special. He reads at such a high level. He's sooooo bright!".

Most ppl aren't like this..

@ZeroRed78 Why would you not view children as special. The young are, in a sense, merely life itself in the abstract. They are, for the most part, the good in man. Their lack of useless pessimistic nihilism, their unbridled curiosity, their fervor/joy for life, among other things constitutes their specialness. These things are what we are trying to keep safe for they are often lost.

This is very different from the shallowness Hicks was spiting out. He probably only meant

@HalloFusilli How many different laws are in place and defended because "think of the children"? It's a banal idea. Yet our society wholly ignores it and props children up on a pedestal as special. Even at an individual level, how many parents spoil their children and refuse to step back and take an unbiased view of their child? That's the genius of Hicks. He pointed out obvious truths that our society ignores.

@joshgreen19 I'm not merely talking shit. You would probably realize this if you lived a much fuller Life of Mind. I don't have to reveal some brilliant ideas in order to confirm the non-stop flow of regurgitated banality from Hicks. Alot of these infatuated Hicks fans really need to wake up from their naive fantasy world where Hicks is a such a special thinker and enter the real-world where Hicks, properly place on the thinker spectrum, is a mediocrity.

@HalloFusilli Then show us some of your brilliant ideas man. Talk shit, fine, but back it up.

@lacrymologyst ''it's a common fallacy among religious people to think that man has no purpose if he doesn't believe in god.''

Point A (absence of sentence before abiogenesis) to Point A (absence of sentience upon extinction). Remind me what the purpose of life is again. Oh yes. It's my responsibility to imagine Sisyphus happy.
