Is there a reason for exsistance or did I just get lucky?

Or would you consider this luck.. living that is.

Maybe it's a bad thing?
Unless there was a greater purpose - an afterlife - why would anything matter then what's happening right now?

Maybe I need to be doing something else right NOW?

Am I wasting time writing this?

Is there anything I could possibly be doing that would be more useful?

Is there anything anybody could be doing to affect anything that actually mattered ever?

If so, is it even religion? Perhaps what we should be doing isn't even discovered?

Why are there so many religions anyway?

Why does everyone that follows these religions think that they have chosen the right one?

Seems to me like these people feel they've got all the spiritual answers. Why doesn't anyone have a 'decent' explention or shred of proof?
And why should I listen to these people or anyone?

How is it that my actions, which are based on what I've learned and been taught by other people, determine my judgement - my afterlife?

Does Anyone actually know me? Do I even exsist?? whats the ing purpose? If i would have been born into a different family, I would be a different person. you can't argue with that. The actions that I take at any given time are simply what I've been taught to do. and yes! of course! everyone has there own spin on it. a personality. to be perfectly honest, i feel that personality is simply an instinct to be different, an instinct given to you by anyone that you hang around, almost as if being pressured into being different.............

When somebody teaches me something (rather i learn it or not), do they realize the profound affects they are having on me, and my future children and so on?

What if they are wrong, or having a bad day?

Why does my head hurt?

How can anyone be true to themselves and DO ANYTHING AT ALL EXCEPT ASK MORE QUESTIONS?

Luck,No,Who knows,Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes,No,Yes,because people believe different things,because people are stubborn and narrow-minded,because there isn't any proof to be had,nobody said you had to,they do?,Yes,Yes,Yes,Too bad,you have a headache,enjoy life and shut up

"Snappy answers to sappy questions --- all you puny problems solved in 10 words or less."

^What is the quote from?^

Your purpose is what you want it to be.

For most people it's just... having offspring...

Answer my question you infidel dog!!! j/k.

Not a quote, I wrote it.

The point of life is to exist. For without an observer, the universe will lose all probability of existing and will no longer exist.

To alter life and make it better for oneself.

If nobody has seen something, does it really exist? I think not.

if there was nobody on this earth, and nobody ever saw it, it wouldnt be there.

Just since you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. By that logic, God HAS TO BE FALSE. It'd still be there, no one would be aware of it, though, the recoginition of existance is nice.

The point of life is to keep thinking about the point of life until the moment we die, wherein we beging to think of the point of death, because it isn't as bad as we all made it out to be.

That was a waste of time.. dude, ur bored and i knwo because i do stupid things when im bored... |

I really think all these meanings to life topics are pointless, unless you can actually provide a meaning to life in your post. It's starting to get annoying and it's pretty obvious there is no straight answer to the meaning of life

I think the point of life is to bring life to our mundane world with our materliastic and idealogicl things. We must cherish our lives as hedonists and have an optimistic outlook to life no matter what. We live ephemeral lives; use it well

Well, it is pretty damn pointless asking a bunch of teenage/adult gamers what the meaning of life is when you can't even figure it out for yourself.

Its a journey and no one else can tell you what yours is.

Please excuse my stereotype romanticism forte.

I don't think any "god" or anything actually made it so we have a point in life. I think we are simply a species of evolution, there to just live. We have no actual point. Life is what we make of it.

so have fun or stfu aye zealot? I agree. My spin on it though is that if you haven't tryed it all, how can you say you've got the right answers? You can't try it all, only ask more questions..

The most important thing, is to not stop questioning.

Maybe God is the creature that we will collectively evolve into. Then God will create humanity because humanity will evolve into God, causing an cycle that will repeat it self endlessly.

Maybe the point of life is to ensure that life continues.

Well I believe in God,
And the Point of existing is to
Look at the world and its natural bueties.
We seek what we find, and we find what we have seek'd.
Many people can commit suicide, but no one really does.
and why? because they know theres more to life, then Death.
So there has to be something to Life, or else everyone would be dead
right now.

Definetly. We've only been given a bit of time on this world, make sure you have fun.

Made an alias just to respond to this. Firstly, it is a debate, not an argument, you don't see anyone attacking each other in here, Firekame. To say something like that is almost beckoning trouble, I'm sure the host of this channel doesn't appriciate that. Secondly, I too strongly believe in athiesiem, but I love to read other people's opinions. You have a very good point Arctic, I'll be the first to admit it. From the athiests point of view, we don't have to 'prove' anything, If you believe that you evolved from plankton 200 billion years ago, be ready to prove it. Same with God exsisting. And I love that quote from einstein. I have another one I'd like to say.
- Extrodinary claims require extrodinary evidence. Einstein

I'm the mod. Its my job to call things before they get out of hand.

Oh don't worry. I think me and my arrogance are back with a few opinions of our own. This might kill 5 or 6 minutes.



Ah....Human nature at its very core aspect.



Bullshit. We're killing each other even as I type this.



Actually, I'd have to say that those who actually consider suicide mostly decide not to out of fear, generated by religion and allot of other stuff that tends to change the minds of others.(Once again, just my arrogant little opinion at work)

Now, as for the actual topic of the meaning of life... Heres something I have learned and come to accept. Humans...give things meanings. We are meaning making machines. Someone says one thing, it means another. Why? We gave it that meaning. Does it really mean anything? In pure existance, no. Absolutely not. In language, yes, because that is a human creation that where human meanings can come into play, because they aren't nescessarily bound to physical objects. So basically, every meaning we give an object, is essentially, in its purest form, false(unless it has to do with other humans and language is somehow involved). How does this come into play? Simple. If all the meanings we give entities that do not exist in language are false, then life is meaningless. This seems pessimistic, doesn't it? Well its not. Why? Because there is a loop hole. Life is meaningless. And that means NOTHING. And this assumption is valid, because it exists in language (typed up in words, yo. Words have meanings, because they're a form of communication created by humans a.k.a. meaning-making-machines).

So once again, I state my views on the meaning of life:

Life is Meaningless.
And that means NOTHING.

This assumption has brought me to the conclusion that there is no real limit holding me back in life, and therefore, I am open to infite possiblities. There, see? I told you this wasn't pessimistic.

Anyway, I hope this entertained devilesk, should he be reading this that is...

Everything is based upon it's connections with everything else. Life has meaning only if we associate meaning with it. If all life suddenly ended, who would care, nobody. Because we'd all be gone.
If I was trying to make a point, please help me find it... I'm sleepy.

The only discernable meaning to life that can be determined so far is that it's recursive: We live to live. In other words, whatever meaning there is is whatever meaning you can give it. In that sense, I envy religious people, who already have their meanings defined for them. No one likes to live in uncertainty, and so long as one is able to get by without questioning their information, they have no reason to suffer uncertainty.


Truthfully though, I believe we are here for a purpose. Maybe not so much a predestined purpose, as rather the only real logical path available to us. With our human sentience, we can sit here now and debate meanings of life. We can explore beyond the scope of our own survival, and try to actually continue to try and see if we do have a specific purpose or not. Without it, we'd just be bound to our mindless recursive survival instincts.

In other words, I believe the meaning of life, or rather sentience (which is a product of life), is to explore its meaning. Until we know without a doubt what the specific meaning to our existence is (if any), that is really the only logical meaning to sentience that there can be.


But once we've explored everything (if possible), what then?
