A Question For Everyone.

[danny76]

my 51 years of life have seen the facts show that it is more probable than not... 

FACTS? You could well be onto something here. Never heard a single fact to prove the existence of a deity

i never said anything about a diety, i was referencing the idea of a creator. since you brought it up, our primitive ancestors were very superstitious, to the point that technology we now consider archaic would have been supernatural (good or evil) 10,000 years ago. you have to look at the basis of what constitutes a "god" from the primitive superstitious viewpoint of someone who would have considered a common match as the work of a diety from the heavens...

the more science advances knowledge, the closer we get to finding the real creator of homo sapiens.

um...guys were just an alien science experiment.  The meaning of our life here is to explain to them where they came from.

what actions of mine will there be consequences for ink? Are you assuming that since I don't believe in god I am just out living a life of sin or doing whatever actions you are speaking of? You are only 13 years older than me and I can guarantee you that you would have more to answer for than I would if we weren't just worm food once dead. Take a stroll through your local children's hospital and watch all of those kids die of various cancers and diseases and then tell me there is a god. Just because you want to believe there is a god doesn't mean that is the case 

I am glad to know we are not just worm food......

the things we will "pay" for are the things we have not asked forgiveness for.......I have asked forgiveness for all the bad I have done..... I feel quite secure......someone such as yourself who does not believe.....so does not ask forgiveness....wont be so secure.

I have seen much death(in my life.... I don't need to go to hospitals to see it) I know full well the condition of the world.....that just cements my beliefs even stronger.

I have also seen God's handy work up close and personal....

I am sure you have also but your blindness wont let you see it for what it is.


if the blind lead the blind into a hole....they will both fall in.

Two men watched as a rich man's funeral procession passed by.

"I wonder how much he left behind." one asked the other.

"Every bit of it." his companion answered.

 


You are tied-in and networked
You've got people to see
You have friends in high places
You've got places to be

You've got plenty of time to make your mark
You've been able to get things done
And all the white shirts will take your calls
You've really had quite a run

Who can you turn to When your life is behind you?

It's all about who you know
It's all about who you know

When you get to the end and you've got nothing to show

It's all about who you know
It's all about who you know

Regards,
Sun

I hope you're fear of bending or breaking a rule doesn't extend into your whole life. If so you WILL be forever stuck in that dead end job sniffing the bellybutton of the boss in suit and tie.

I'm not implicating it to my real life, I got a short leash on me in here so i'm trying not to go too far.




But so far, this is turning into one heck of a good read. Many valid arguments being made in a civil manner, its like the internet's dreaming.

Seeing my wife in the moonlight down by the lake, the softness of her skin, and scent of her perfume
my son catching his 1st 5 lb bass
the smell of saltwater and pine trees, fresh cut hay and my grandmas sourdough bread.
my wife and I watching our children's first Christmas as they look at the tree in awe...then they play with the wrapping paper instead of the toys lol
watching my oldest son tear up with joy as I give him the keys to his own truck.
The smell of the lilacs blowing through the bedroom windows in the spring, as birds sing waking me up.
the sound of whipper wills on summer nights sitting around  a campfire
the early morning fog hanging over the pond, water smooth as glass except for the wake of my jitter bug.
the taste of a cold beer after a hard days work, or a big mason jar of sweet tea as I sit under the big maple tree in the back yard.
my dog Ike and how he's so happy to see me when I get home
the smell of coffee brewing in the morning, country ham frying in the skillet
spring turkey hunts with the boys
my old buddy joe's blackberry wine
Hank Williams music and good kentucky bourbon


before you can understand the meaning of life....you must live it first. 

 

That's deep.

To procreate so my DNA will out compete all others and reign supreme.  



But if that's not possible... Golf, beer, guns, all things airplanes, fast cars, and Jeeps.  

Oh Lord... I forgot about chicks.  Gotta have chicks!

As a hetrosexual male, the meaning of life is simple and divided into two parts.

Need and want.

The need for the first 50 is this:



The want for the remaining years is "I just want to take a good dump with no issues today..."

Life is about these 4 things: Spectacles (Ray Bans), Testicles (plenty of use from them), Wallet (good stash of cash), and Watch (Seiko or Breitling).

[Tank-Ace]

Perdweeb, I think you boiled that one down nicely  .

But in all seriousness, I think the meaning of life is: http://movemequotes.com/9255/.

Basically, respect others, and enjoy what you have.




And I would like to ask we keep the religion out of this discussion. If you believe, go ahead and say so. If you don't, go ahead and say so. But please don't decide to be a dick, and pull the whole "well I'm not going to argue with you, because I'm trying to be the bigger person" thing.

Thread with potential, and I don't wanna see Skuzzy slay it.

Similar to a R.O.U.S., I'm not sure Skuzzy still exists here.

That said, anyone coming here and telling someone who simply answered the question posed by the O.P. that their beliefs are wrong, should be ashamed of themselves, apologize, and cease and desist.

Take those four things and add symbolism to get the real meaning.
