Postby Alex » Wed Aug 31, 05 3:34 pm

What is the meaning of life? Why do you live? Why are you here? Whats the point of living?

Tell me your opinion.

Yes, but what is the point of living? What is the goal?
Personally i think that there isn't a goal.

Why are we here? If you ask me I would say it was a accident. A genuine one in a million chance that the right gasses mixed with the exact needed quantities.

If that is the case, there should be no feasable goal, surely?

First of all, don't mix the meaning of life and the goal of life.

Theres no meaning of life because of existance of death. You born, reach something in your life and sooner of later, you die like any creature. Since i'm an atheist, i don't believe that theres something after our death, like life. After death our bodies rot, with our brain, mind, soul. We don't exist anymore, thats how it ends. It's hard to live with that when you're an atheist. That's why people made up religions, to resurrect a fake meaning of life in our minds. Until theres no evident proof in existance of God, i will not believe in it.
And you can have a goal in your life or not, its your business :) Mine is to earn money. It is over everything.

There is no correct way to live life, morals are moulded around society. Self-instinct all the way. Dae, i agree.

A goal that is shared by most people to attain in life is to become immortal. Not in the phsyical sense, but as a memory. Being known all over the world and living forever in the memory of the living. Shakespear will never die, Einstein will never die. I know thats a main goal of mine, and i know countless people who want to be "famous for something", because they are afraid of dissapearing completely.

I, myself, beleive that there is something after death, a good or a bad 'thing' i obviously don't know. Life would be pointless otherwise, there is no point in living if there is nothing to live for (maybe thats why we make goals for ourselves during life, because we know/think that there is no ultimate goal in life), and i'm always optimistic. I am an atheist also, because i know "God" is just a cussion to soften the blow of death, but this universe is just too big to NOT have something wierd going on in it. I suppose we will all find out one day...

The meaning of life is...doing the best you can while enjoying every minute of it.

Daedalus...I saw a kid haeled by a prophet, thats proof enough for me...and also meaning of life...to reach a created goal, there is no specific meaning the meaning is what you make it, you reach your goal and if saved you are raised into the kingdom of heaven, quite frankly I think our time is almost up till The Beast comes in...Beast=anti-christ.
