I know the "meaning" of Life !

I know the "meaning" of Life....

Well, meaning is a bit of a stretch, but still. You see, i have seen many people not knowing the ´meaning´of life, and perhaps even turn to religion for it, but if you only knew.

For all you whom do not know, i will not tell you, the so called meaning of your life, is to make sure the Human Species survival.

It is this simple, and whatever you want to define it as a ´meaning´, is up to you, but that is ´why´ we are here, because our ancestors did it, and now we have the choice to do it also.

I see religion as a block in the way of human survival, as if it will continue, eventually, we will die out because of it, as to many people wants to be in control, for now the Church, and money grabbing people (Like Mr Kent Hovind for example), and eventually everyone, and then its all over.

Just wanted to let you ignorant people know, and the other ones (atheist) already know so..........

There's only one meaning to life - Pringles!

There's really no objective meaning to life. Life is what you make of it. Isn't it better to make your own purpose than to have a third party abitraily assign you one?

 

[Arikay]

Are you sure you even know the meaning of "atheist" let alone the meaning of life?

1. Get out more.
2. Study this quote. Learn it as wisdom, take it to heart.

We exist because we exist. Isn't that enough? *****, we're a bunch of sissies. "Oh, why are we here?" Touchy-feely BS. Go out and feel the sleet slap into your face! (Okay, that isn't recommended...)

3. Get a video rental card.
4. Rent this video: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085959/

5. Watch it.

Atheist = Lacking of belief in God or Gods.

Not very hard.

 

[Arikay]

Good, now lets see if you know the entire definition of atheism.
Is there anymore to the definition of atheism?

The absence of belief in a god. The prefix "a" means "without". The term "theo" (or thei) means "god". So, a-theism literally means "without god-ism". An atheist does not necessarily say that he "knows" there is no god. An atheist simply does not hold a belief in a god, for whatever reason.

and notice, none of it says anything about being against religion and most say nothing about holding a truth (thus making some ignorant). So before you group atheists into your ramble, I would relearn what an atheist is.

Good to know that the atheists here on CF generally do not agree with this God-hater. It comforts me, really, because if I were an atheist I wouldn't be a God-hater either.

Oh, yeah, thanks for the deep wisdom and all. I'm really very ingorant, and I just needed to know that.

 

[rootis]

No problem aeroz, i hope i helped you, but now you know.

Why do we need to "make sure" that the Human Species survives?

 

[AndTheyShoutedJesus]

Human population is all happy and all, but theres really something that seems very interesting to me. If we were meant to live basically to start "doing" the opposite sex, then why are there sexually transmitted diseases? If the only thing in life is reproducing, then we shouldn't have STD's. Also, courtship would be useless, and marriage should be left in the dust. After all we are only here to reproduce.

we don't get STDs for fun you know... they take advantage of the fact that we have sex, just like colds take advantage of the fact hat we breathe, and stuff like that.

false. that is about mate selection and behaviours that lead to an improved chance for your genes. animals court and form bonds too.

Why be picky if you're going to have a child anyway?

 

[Sanguine]

Why be picky if you're going to have a child anyway?

If you pick a dud mate, you'll have dud kids, and you're line isn't likely to continue. Plus you've wasted time and resources with the child (much less if you're a male, although with modern humans the disparity isn't nearly as severe).

Many atheists on this boards are the oposite of the op, many in real life too.

.

Is the survival of H. sapiens a "good" goal? Why? Since I won't be around to see that survival, what meaning does it have for me?

 

[Jet Black]

well ensuring it's survival is fun

What you explain is why we exist according to the evolution. And how you mixed up this whit the meaning whit life I don’t know, whit the evolution there are no meaning whit life because nothing have a meaning.

But of course you can give personal meaning to your life, but you will probably find out that many of them just was emptiness.
