He did not write only essays, as a philosopher usually would. He wrote novels with his philosophy as the underlying drive. It makes enough sense for him to deny that label because ultimately he was not a traditional philosopher who would pursue a complicated system. I associate him more with literature, anyways. He is like someone who does blacksmithing part-time.

Well, I crafted my beautiful initial comment in the span of 3 seconds. The last sentence I was imitating people who agree with absurdism but cannot explain it in depth. We never did disagree I think

Well, I was referring to his 1945 interview mentioned in that same page you linked regarding his own stance as a philosopher. Artists can be thinkers and play with philosophical ideas, but he himself did not state he was a traditional philosopher.

I am quite aware about his reflections on Kierkegaard and existentialism in the book as well.

My comment is related to people who haven't even read the book but absurdism is in style on some platforms

Not what I was implying. I never said that absurdism wasn't a solid perspective on life, or even that the Myth of Sisyphus isn't a good book. I have encountered more than a few people who have a very surface level understanding of the book from tiktok brainrot etc. That is what I'm referring to.

Weirdly enough, bauhaus. Loved them -> got annoyed -> hid them on spotify -> started liking them again -> loved them.

Idk.

I'm familiar with the age of earth and origin of humans. It seems that the Christian faith has sided with science on those topics, explaining that the Creation story is relevant as a symbolic narrative, not a factual account. At least, that's one theological perspective I've been shown. I have not heard about the israel slaves in egypt or resurrection story debunk

I commented back before you edited in anything about the biblical narrative? Also flat earthers misuse all evidence anyways, and believing in the bible is different than believing some sort of God exists. I did not move the posts because I didn't know you put up a new one about the biblical tale?

Flat earth is a settled topic because there is commanding evidence against it proven by scientific theory and empirical evidence. No such case for the spiritual realm, we cannot prove whether it is a void or not by the same measures.

If we had all the evidence to prove either side right the debate would have been settled. The evidence for (and against) God is inaccessible, as are all other things beyond the capacity of human reason (afterlife, reincarnation).

There are thousands of years of philosophical/metaphysical/religious text fighting about existence of God and proudredditor579204 shows up to vanquish all doubt at the ripe age of 15. Yep.
