Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
I am an optimistic nihilist. I can see absolutely no reason to believe that humans have any objective "reason to live", but am perfectly content without it. I continue living and seek to live longer because I intrinsically enjoy living itself. If I didn't, I wouldn't aspire to live to at least the Heat Death of the Universe.
In the absence of any objectivity here, nor any reason to think it exists, I have no qualms about taking my own subjective preferences and giving them all my attention. To aim for more is, frankly, a foolhardy endeavor, leaving aside that the comfort of meaning from religion is delusional.
If anyone has a genuine God-shaped hole in their soul, then I can only pity them, and hope we find a way to fix the problem because God isn't real. I'm grateful that I came out of the factory without that particular problem.
