Which one worldview do you feel is most compelling concerning its view of the future? Why?
-
I would say Monotheistic because I’m a Christian who believes in hope following death. I would also say Pantheism because they hold hope for life after death, even though they do so inaccurately.
-
Monotheism is the one that clearly has a vision for the future in their own various ways of having a path that leads to eternal life, or life after death.
Pantheism believes that if you are considered to be “enlightened” you will become one with the universe, and if you are not “enlightened” you will be reincarnated.
Naturalism, Nihilism, and Existentialism all seem to have resonate with no hope for the future.
Deism believes in some type of continuation of life, but not a heaven or hell as it doesn’t make any sense to them. They simply believe that some part of our consciousness continues after death.
-
Being a Christian, and believing in the One True God, I feel a loss for the believers of religions such as deism, existentialism, etc. who do not have a belief in an afterlife. The thought of nothing being there for us is lonely; I look forward to going home when I leave my physical existence. You have to have something to look forward to or a goal to meet, if not it would be easy to treat life as having less of a meaning.
-
Monotheism is absolutely the most compelling because it is the only one that offers certainty and hope.
-
Monotheism is the only one that offers any meaningful hope to the future, both today and for eternity.
