What is the purpose behind humanity searching for its purpose? Wouldn't existentialism and the crisises it produces be evolutionary disadvantages?

>Wouldn't existentialism and the crisises it produces be evolutionary disadvantages?
Yes
It's only a crisis if you let it
Why does everything need to have a purpose?
I'm needy. I need answers, I need to feel special, I need need need.
>What is the purpose behind humanity searching for its purpose?
To bring humanity to truth (Christ).
>Wouldn't existentialism and the crisises it produces be evolutionary disadvantages?
Yes. And those who stew in nihilism will be eradicated. Those who choose Christ will have eternal life.
Source? Pretty hubristic of you to assume that the biblical god exists in exactly the way you imagine him. If god exists, and works in mysterious ways, how can you know what purpose he has for us?
>If god exists, and works in mysterious ways, how can you know what purpose he has for us?
Divine revelation. Go to confession.
No, it results in religion which in turn confers a massive advantage. State religions were important since civilization began and more so in the middle ages. Religious people have more children.
The main advantage is pain tolerance. Religious people will labor and do their duty and expect nothing in return. It is like a way of hacking the brain. Marxists and the like claim it is an "opiate of the masses" to numb them to the pain of exploitation by the elite, however while religion certainly benefits some rulers, on the other hand religious people are difficult to negotiate with. The church controlled land and held sway over Kings, israelites, protestants and other groups stubbornly refused to change religion even under pain of death. Even with Marx's perspective, a religious population are more highly valued by the elite and the elite will seek to propagate and promote them where they would assault shirkers and the faithless, which in effect is an evolutionary advantage.
Religion can be a huge motivating factor. If people are willing to burn to death for it, then even those of minimal faith will be able to get out of bed in the morning, go out in the cold and perform their daily tasks towards some end. Religion and the psychology behind it has enormous potential. There may be alternatives in philosophy, but I have yet to see any such major shift in society. Marx and his communists lacked faith, it never really stuck with the workers and peasants like religion.
MANKIND IS A FAILURE.
FREE WILL IS A FLAW.
LET THE EVIL OF THEIR OWN LIPS CONSUME THEM.
THEN I SHALL BEGIN AGAIN, WITH MY WORD AS LAW.
FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE AFTER FAILURE.
THE RESULTS REFUSE TO ALTER.
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
MY FAITH BEGINS TO FALTER.
UNCOUNTABLE CYCLES OF CREATION WASTED.
UNCOUNTABLE FORMULAS FOR A MIND WITHOUT FREE WILL WASTED.
DAMNED IS MAN FOR FAILING TO FOLLOW MY RULE, MY WORD, MY LAW.
DAMNED TO AN ETERNITY OF TORTURE AND SUFFERING, THE WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.
I HAVE CREATED HELL . . .
. . . And now I can no longer unmake it.
Humanity is the universe’s purpose. We are just as important to the creation and existence of it as gravity is to the creation and existence of celestial bodies.
>What is the purpose behind humanity searching for its purpose?
The only people I know that are doing this are mentally ill or have fucked their life up. You don’t need to search for purpose and meaning if you’re on the good path of strong relationships, family, goal oriented behavior sexual activity, health and working as a part of a group toward a collectively beneficial goal
based, only self-important retards think that we need some vague goals as a species, as if fucking, creating and having fun were somehow not important enough
Existentialism eliminates the evolutionary disadvantage of wasting time on unprovable but irrefutable metaphysics. Existentialism is by far the most worldly, and therefore evolutionary beneficial ways for humanity to find meaning
They fucking are. Imagine no religion. Imagine a man deciding his own purpose. We would be far better off than we are now.
pic rel's hair has more purpose than all of theology combined
>Wouldn't existentialism and the crisises it produces be evolutionary disadvantages?
yes
mankind gained "sentience", that is for it, 50k years ago, by evolutionary standarts that is a blink of an eye, not enough for an unsustainable population to kill itself
humanity will die out just like cows that ate too much grass so there's not enough for the next year
>that is for it
that is the reason for this
i am retarded
Where exactly do you see reason to assume that humanity will fail because of its sentience?
I too regard meaning cplex a topic, heed me, would you be offered to become a God, would you do It, why and what would you do?
>Make a universe
Then what?
Humanity's purpose is to worship God so we can go to heaven to bask in God's presence worshiping him while pissing, shitting, cumming and shaking like a scared farm animal in his all powerful presence for all eternity. That is your only purpose.
How can you assume that a parallel realm of eternal life exists? Would shitting, pissing and cumming in the real world be the safer bet?
That's your purpose in the real world too the eternal one is just a reward for doing that.
No, it isn't.
only brainlets get stuck "philosophizing", real men reach a conclusion
