The reality is, 2/3 of the worlds population, believes your religious beliefs are wrong.
Did you get this from me? Because I believe that one third of the people are going to be saved. Some people believe that only a remnant or 10% will be saved. That is how many people will repopulate the earth. Now we know that only a remnant are willing to pay the price to serve God. For many are called but few are chosen.

Do you believe, my life can not have purpose or meaning
I believe God created everyone with purpose and meaning. It is up to them to make the choice if they want to follow God or live in rebellion against God. It is not my place to judge you. Only God is able to judge your heart.

Revelation 20:12 "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books."

i will ask one more time: can my life have purpose and meaning, if i dont believe a god exists? Yes, or no?

No, i dont get facts from you.
I do not know if it is a "fact" that only one third will be saved. The Bible says few and I beleive that means less than the majority or one third of the people will be saved. From every tribe, tongue, nation and people. Washed and cleansed in the Blood of the Lamb.

Matthew 7:14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Revelation 7:9
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

Revelation 7:14
"Sir," I answered, "you know." So he replied, "These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

I do not have a different answer for you other than the answer I already gave you for that question.

Post number where you answered the question?
My answer is that it is against the rules of the forum for me to judge you and God does not give me the ability to judge your heart. ONLY God can Judge your heart.

Does this then mean, you retract your statement in post 247, about someone needing to follow god, to have purpose and meaning in their life?

Muslims do not believe the Torah is corrupted. They just know the law of God and many of them do not understand the grace of God. Jesus taught that we are to treat others the way we want others to treat us. This involves a degree of grace compared to an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" that we see under the law. People need to realize: "if not for the grace of God there go I".

Jesus teaches this in the parable of tax collector and the Pharisee. "13 But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified." (Luke18)

A young muslim girl could be sold into sex slavery. She could have a boy that was a product of rape. She may want to strap a bomb on that boy and use him as an instrument to kill the sinners. Rather than for him to go out and buy a wife and repeat the cycle all over again. The funny thing is they cover up so all you see are the eyes. Yet the eye is the mirror of the soul so you can see the anger and the hatred in the eyes rather than the love, mercy, grace and forgiveness.

Even in the Chinese culture I have seen movies that looks into a marriage for money & convenience compared to a marriage for love. Saint Valentine was said to represent a Christian marriage based on love that we think of as romance today. So people decide if they want to marry for love or money. The women's liberation movement was based on women that say it is better not to marry at all because a women does not need a man she can take care of herself. This reinforces the belief that you should marry for love or companionship or don't get married at all. Of course different cultures are going to have different variations on this.

Good job, missing the point.
