Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 13, 2023

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.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

choosing to believe in its importance is an opinion

Right, it’s a faith statement unevidenced by the atheistic framework. Why an animal would care about “animal species as a whole” does not make sense scientifically in an evolutionary sense. “Thinking atheism” does not support the importance of human flourishing as a personal pursuit.

Choosing to believe into an external source of objectivity, especially deliberately, is self-brainwashing.

It’s no less unevidenced than your dogma that a human is motivated by species-global flourishing.

The rest is just "you simply haven't prayed hard enough" goalpost moving

Not at all. You failed the exercise in being able to imagine a “loving God”. That’s not goalpost moving, that’s an inability to understand religious language.
