I've often contemplated the compassionate thing to do for everyone would be to go to hell incase there is one.

Me. In heaven? Cringe.

That said I don't exactly know how to compassionately enter hell. As that compassion is supposed to also encompess the "self". As flawed as the self is.

In this scenario. We may all be going to hell. However, that's not "my wish".

Also. To actively disbelieve in consequences for ones life. It doesn't matter how moral you try to be. Seems like atheism is more a convenience to say "it doesn't matter what I do in this life". You may say you're a humanitarian. However you may still torture someone for their beliefs.

At a minimum unless you follow bhudda you are quite literally just an empty vessel meeting out your nihilistic instinctualism turned intellectualism as you see fit. No matter how much science you cope-quote. It's also a fear cope mechanism. Can't go to hell if there isn't one. No duty. No punishment for being an asshole to others. Literally a really bad philosophy to follow. It holds almost no intrinsic value as there is more proof for divinity and afterlives and life consequences then there is proof against.

In fact there is no specific proof there are no higher powers than mankind. Yet we do have crop circles. Giants on mountains. The Nasca figures. Mormons, kabala (i probably mispelled), Etc etc.

The greater you needs a guide. And the body of the people need to be accountable and hold those around them accountable. The bill of rights just doesn't cut it.
