Stories that we tell ourselves endure through out time because the carry with them a truth of reality and human experience.

This is true. But I think this spiritual side everybody can experience without religion. One can study ethics and think about good sustainable behaviour, without any existing religion.
I think Vinney means this. And I approve on this.
Yes I understand. And my point is, there is no ethical framework without religion that is internally and logically consistent. You need a meta-framework of value to derive the ethics you are relying on. Anything else is simply a preference. This leads to death. Literally. Believe in God or not. You have free will. My point is that there is massive societal value in religion that is being overlooked.
is religion internally and logically consistent? how do you determine from which of the world's religions to derive your ethics - is that a meta-framework or no?
Yes I see that for many people religion can give a savespace. But I think whatever safety one can find in a religion one can find in reasoning as well. Good realists are optimists.
I like to refer to myself as an optimistic nihilist :)

Thank you for this post. Just go up read about Nihilism and realized, that I defnitly make part of Nihilism 😂🙏
First time to learn about it 💪🍻
And directly had to think about the film "the worlds end":
Verstehst du Deutsch?

Ich habe gerade die neuste Folge von Philosophie to go gehört.
Hier wird Nihilismus als die Alternative von Nitzsche auf die Sinnfrage welche bisher mit Gott beantwortet wurde, in der Welt der Wissenschaften zu finden.
Nein, ich verstehe kein Deutsch, aber ich kann eine KI für Übersetzungen nutzen :)
Das klingt gut, ich werde schauen, ob ich eine englische Version davon finden kann. Ich habe einige Werke von Nietzsche gelesen, aber das ist schon lange her. Weißt du, aus welchen seiner Werke sie für diese Episode zitiert haben? Ich könnte es griffbereit haben und direkt zur Quelle gehen
"Thus spoke Zarathustra" is the original source I think. In this book the idea of eternal recurrence is discussed. Did not read it myself. I listen to this podcast sometimes, since these brothers have a very easy to understand way to explain complex philosophy.
