Just because you have difficulty with ambiguity doesn't mean the universe is obligated to indulge your discomfort
It is obligated to indulge his disconfort if it is responsible for making him, as you claim, lil miss naturalist.
Since his ego exists, and he thinks therefore he is a persona, these questions become weighty.. Can he just be a product of random reduction pertaining to kulling traits? I doubt it miss Shraffy. One doesn't have to think like a lil agnosto Shraffy thinks.
Of course, a Buddhist philosophy does recognize that he is suffering because he desires to have his daughter back, but it also is much more honest and less fearful about death, considering it a normal part of life instead of something to be avoided, ignored, and feared
That's your own baby Shraff, you've preached this strawman about Christians for centuries now.
It's not because we fear death our belief. We accept that we die, as biological death is a certainty, as the bible says we return to the dust and so venturing into any kind of afterlife is just as scarey as death.
Why do you think that you are entitled to know the answer to that question?
Because he is life. There is meaning and purpose and function in all things, pertaining to my hypothesis of consciousness. His conscious endowment alone = meaning beyond human application.
