OOOUUU, I as a deist never actually asked myself this until now because it intrigues me, should we feel obligated to have children to respect the universe?
I am aware the words "free will" and "obligation" heavily conflicts with each other, but what do you guys think O_O?
To me, it's not that I don't believe in any form of afterlife- be it nothing, Heaven, Hell; its that I wouldn't bother questioning the intangible, something that I could not realistically prove in anyway. I could question if 1 + 1 =2 though and prove it in the tangible sense on a piece of paper, grab 2 pieces of rock; heck, even count my 2 fingers. But subconsciously, I lean towards the eternal oblivion perspective(they need to choose a different wording for this belief man, eternal oblivion just sounds so depressing, had to search up what it was called when you believe theres no afterlife)
What do you guys think about this topic? i notice that deism as a perspective doesn't offer any solid viewpoint about the afterlife, just life.
