whats the meaning to life

Drop the joint and go back to school.

–without my faith in the God of my understanding, I would be lost in a world of little dictators who think they can treat people as subclass citizens–

sounds like you’re describing christians (but no where near all)

–because they fancy themselves more learned and educated than they really are.–

odd then, that the people who most study the creation attributed to god are more likely to be atheist?

Stop exagerating. Debating, and proving someone total lacks credibility is not treating them as a sub-class. Courtesy goes both ways, and insults fly both ways. Stop acting so morally supieor simply because you have faith in the supernatural. Belief in dieties has no correllation to moral behavior. In fact some of the most atrocious events in history have been committed in the name of a diety.

I am sorry if you think I am being too hard on the creationists, but they are trying to insert their mythology into my kids science class, and I consider that a real threat to our society.

true religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness. ~ Albert Einstein

Are you really going to use a diest who did not believe in an after life to support your beliefs? He believed god was nature, not some supernatural being. He was not a believer.

I don’t know who you think hasn’t heard your ‘good news’ that it still needs spreading. I have heard it all my life, and I have no need to hear it anymore.

wow… I love it when people fight in public where their supposed to be posting advice cus its way to hard to fun mail them so that the person doesnt keep checking their question thinking they have new advice for their problem when really its Obama in a heated debate with a tattoo… fun.

When ever I speak to someone new, I am never disrespectful. I just trying to state the facts, and will engage in debate. But when they return with junk science that has been long debunked, then they have lost all credibility, and they deserve to be treated as such. Evolution is not a belief. It is a fact. It has been proven beyond any doubt that evolution has occured. Yet some people are so blinded by their beliefs and mythology, they refuse to even attempt to understand the science. They refuse to even consider they might be wrong. So they cling to this idea that their is some huge conspiracy by scientists to prove god doesn’t exist, and that they are making up all the evidence there is that proves evolution.

Quoting that you believe your god gives youfree will is meaningless to me. You must know I am an atheist, so why would you tell me this? Are you trying to convert me?

Glad I could help…

but why be that way toward anybody? It doesn’t help to win them over to your way of thinking. It gets their defenses up. If you don’t ridicule, you have a more open mind willing to hear you out. present your case (on topic) If the question asks specifically for like-minded individual’s answers; don’t feel you have to poo poo their heartfelt beliefs. It so happens many of us believers believe in evolution/creation, but it shouldn’t make a difference. be gracious toward everyone; they too have their own truth to share. don’t try to make others feel small because you think that your truth is the only view to take. GOD gives us free will for a reason-that we may freely come to discover our relationship to Him, whatever it might be.

In our generation of space age technology, millions are searching for meaning. Mankind has always sought for fulfillment through knowledge, materialism, power and pleasure. King Solomon once explained man’s empty search for meaning without God as, “All is vanity and a striving after the wind.” (Ecclesiastes 2:11) This is not to say that there is not a certain amount of joy to be found in the accumulation of knowledge, wealth, pleasure and power. It is not to say that there is no pleasure in the world around us. But if one or more of these areas become the chief goal in life we are destined for disappointment. Each of these things have their place, but not as the central focal point of our lives. If we are to find meaning and direction for life, we must understand that true meaning and purpose in life is to be found in godly relationships. It is found first in a relationship with God. Once our relationship with God is right then our relationship with our neighbors, a healthy relationship with self and with the world around us will be right.

calm down, it was a joke. I was trying to see if anyone would get it. I guess no one here ever read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. They were searching for the answer to the question ‘what is the meaning of life?’. It was 42.

And I think you need to take a pill. This is called FUNadvice. I can answer whatever question I want to as long as I don’t violate the terms of use.

And this question said nothing about belief in dieties. I think the meaning of life is whatever you want it to be. There is no right answer. 42 is as good as any.

Please tell me what other ‘nonsensical garbage’ I have posted?

jimahl .. I’d bet you mean 420 the way you go out of your way to dumb-down others questions and sincere answers. why not stick to questions for and about Atheism and allow believers to actually contribute something of value to one another? I don’t see others leaving nonsensical garbage to your questions.

What I believe, as an Anglican, that we must thank God for giving us a gift. The gift of life. And, as others were given this gift, we should share the love of The Father, The Son, And The Holy Ghost. Well, thats my opinion.

pfft the meaning of life is simple:

The meaning of life is to make more life.

Theres no other purpose so we make up our own to feel better about ourselves, so we feel it is to feel good, and any human will do ANYTHING to feel good.

I am only condescending or flippant to the most fanatical believers. Like those who deny evolution.

not nonsensical , merely condescending or flippant

Well, to me and my friend it’s that I have phys ed while she has health. But the real meaning is to reproduce to continue the human population or leave a mark.

I still say 42…

I like the first answer but the meaning of life in my oppinion is to improve the world as best you can in your own way

42

Laugh, cry, love, reproduce && die. :)

hmm the meaning of life… weed + alcohol + going online and asking people what the meaning of life is = ]

making a baby, then dying
