Let's examine Boris' worldview. One simple way to break down a world view is to look at four pieces. (1)Origin: Where did it all come from? (2) Meaning: Why am I here? (3) Morality: What defines good or evil? (4) Destiny: Where am I going?
According to Boris, and many atheistic philosophers, the world was created by nothing from nothing for nothing. That means with respect to Origin -- it just happened by chance. With respect to Meaning -- there is none (Life is an empty bubble on the sea of nothingness" according to Sartre). With respect to Morality -- you have no basis for determining good and evil (who are you to tell Hitler he was wrong and you are right? or a cannibalistic culture for that matter). With respect to Destiny -- ashes to ashes, dust to dust. So, summed up honestly, we are here by chance, live meaningless lives, and then we die. With that world view, I would be trying to gratify every sensual desire I had as well and be angry with anyone who suggested I should not. But does that world view even make sense?
