Whats life about... life... is purely about fulfillment and vanity, in the search for fame and glory so we might one day be able to live forever through the memories of out descendants, and as such become eventually legends designed to inspire, embolden and even cast fear upon the peoples of the future.

Lol not really that profound just a point of fact that all human endeavor is about one of 3 things, bringing me to that conclusion, the 3 things are, to eat, to mate and to live forever.

I also thought I'd put the Douglas Adams joke in before anyone else had chance. razz

I'm LDS (Mormon), and we're taught to believe life is a test.
I believe in God, the plan of salvation, and all that jazz, so that's what I believe.
But.
IF religion IS void, and there is no "creator," and we were just an evolved species, then I believe that there is no given meaning of life, or something it is about. It just is.
For a meaning or a reason, you'd have to make your own. It'd be your meaning to/of life.

but um what ugs me most about all thta creation and religion crap is that we can't get past who created god, but those people who just think we're here to be here, i don't know how they can accept that  

[[Ashes][is][Ashes]]

If anything else, religion is a comfort thing...something to believe in.
But from my perspective, humans/people aren't supposed to know everything yet. There's too much.

How you can unquestioningly accept the creation of the world by a god?

That question works both ways, and in truth, why does anything exist?

Maybe to simple avoid non-existence.

I wouldn't go that far, but if you take comfort in a creator, so be it, I take comfort in one too, though as I've said before, not one of divine influence.  

[The Dadalorian]

i think it'd just be depressing think that there's no point to living, you're just here.

Ahhh but then if there is a divine creator, then surely to some thats discomforting, as then the questions of free will and destiny start to come in to effect. For some people they like to believe there is no almighty creator so that they can live freely.

Obviously you take comfort in the thought there is, and who am I to even attempt to convince you otherwise? I'm just saying that the other views of people do make a lot of sense when you consider the raw individuality of a single person.

I find it comforting to believe in a creator. I really don't like the theory that there may be nothing after death.

it's weird tihnkign that, it kind of scares me
i guess i just need to think from their point-of-view  

[Gai4_hacks]

No one really knows for sure - but imagine the world without life.
It'd be nothing. At all.
That's a scary thought.
