| 486428 | 2006-11-19 23:05:00 | Yah but seriously, life means different things to different people. Maybe to someone, it is their 'meaning' in life is to present their ideas about life to other people, and therefore joining in this discussion. Are we talking about the individual meaning of life that we each decide for us personally, or are we talking about the collective... meaning of life for human kind? And if this following lame wisecrack hasn't already been made, my opinion on you guys is seriously lowered :p www.thefreedictionary.com I don't know about life, but today... im just happy enough to get home from work, and play netball with my brother. Last week we won 19-3, yeeehaw. Thinking too far ahead for too long can really screw your head. Sigh... The present certainly is a wierd existance. Presently, we only exist for.. an.. extremely short time. Otherwise we ourselves only exist in our memory, and the future is just... potential. An expectance judged on the memory of the past, because the present whips by so fast that I wonder how exactly I feel.. right.. now. Ehhh... *mejobloggs goes back to sleep. |

| 486430 | 2006-11-19 23:30:00 | To Joe & pico Thanks for your replies. I admire your unshakable faith and I agree Christianity has pagan roots - take for example the modern view of the devil, is that not Poseiden (the ancient God of the sea) with his trident coloured red? But that aside, and given everything else that has gone on in this thread, what makes JW the one true path to God? I'd prefer responses that aren't self-proving / self-referencing. Cheers, Andrew |

If he were me,he would be looking for the truth of the matter,I doubt he would find it with Keynes. |

| 486436 | 2006-11-20 02:12:00 | I'd prefer responses that aren't self-proving / self-referencing.I'm not a religious practitioner Andrew... but what is worth thinking about, as someone else questioned, is how did human life come in to existance. I mean, it simply beggars belief that the current cosmos was once a void until something suddenly occured to make life possible, and it took accident to make it evolve into the ultra complex system that it is. The bible explains it far too well, and simple logic must tell you that there can't possibly be any other way of life being created other than by a superior power. I think the mainstream denial of a supreme God is fear. Fear that if they believed then they'll feel obligation to obey God's laws. And that just doesn't suit many people's lifestyles. And the funny thing about that? These people are obliged to obey physical laws, created by God, whether they like it or not. Physics etc say you die if you don't get air to breathe, don't eat, don't drink. You are pretty much attached to the ground by gravity. The laws of nature are unavoidable. But people prefer to avoid the realities of morality, lifestyle and other Christian obligations - all laws that are equivalently made by God. |
