Mjhavok ::: Favorites I highly doubt most theists get up in the morning and think "I just got out of bed for god". This all stems down to a major misunderstanding of atheism and atheists. Lack of one belief doesn't mean lack of all beliefs and nihilism. 07-06-01 17:55:13 _____________________________________________________
CousinoMacul ::: Favorites From a statistical point of view, an eternal afterlife makes your mortal life virtually meaningless. Unless you believe what you do here determines what happens for eternity, in which case the meaning of your life is about anything BUT your actual life (which I find sad). I'll take the atheist's meaning of life any day! --Fake Jake 07-06-01 18:33:45 _____________________________________________________
Klarkster ::: Favorites "What is the meaning of life" is an improper question IMO. The only way that I can make sense of it is if I rephrase it as; "What is the meaning of MY life" "what is the meaning of life" assumes in it's premise that there is meaning and the answer to the question applies to everyone. Ironically, it's really meant to answer the same existential question as my rephrase. At the end of the day the theist just wants to know how the answer applies to them too. 07-06-01 18:48:54 _____________________________________________________
ltzippy2 ::: Favorites "I don't find it (the meaning of life)discussed on atheist websites" Then what websites is this person looking at? Almost every atheist I know sorted this one out a long time ago, and is invariably discussed at most meetings I attend. But I suppose it's eyes shut, fingers in ears and brain switched off....as usual. 07-06-01 19:29:23 _____________________________________________________

PolliFaxToaster ::: Favorites does my cat want to live? she is devoid of any notion of jesus, weapons of mass destruction, sky gods, or any other lie. she eats every day, and drinks water. she wants to live. she loves watching things move. movement gives her life meaning. i want to live, and in fact i love it. i prefer to do so with as few lies as possible. 07-07-09 01:15:30 _____________________________________________________
