Is religion itself not a logical fallacy? You are assuming (through you faith, which you are entitled to do so) that God is the beginning and the end. But as soon as someone applies that logic to something which does not fall into your beliefs then you shut it down with "I don't have to prove it, it's faith not science" or something to that tune.Azure-Supernova said:
If anyone here is culpable of circular reasoning here, it is you. You can always combat in the safe knowledge that you don't need to back anything up with reason or logic because it simply doesn't seem to exist to you. I could start a church tomorrow and have suckers roll up from miles around to witness the words of my Goddess, who came to me in a vision. Everything I said from then on I could back up with: "Because Her Holiness herself commanded it so".[/quote]
God proved His position over and over again in all of history, Jesus being the focal point of that.
If your position of what life is about is so true then you can please prove it to mean. I'm not impervious to evidence. My faith in God is maintained by evidence.
I feel your pain, but I prefer to just sit back and bask in the knowledge that I'm not so retarded as to reject principles that are known and actually proven in favour of a collection of dogma without proof, the means to find proof or even the abillity to request such proof. When someone insists that proof is not even required, that's when I bust out the beers, turn the music up and slide into an even more comfortable state of smugness...Woodsey said:

Rats. Look at the time. I have to go to work now.
Well my ideas on the meaning of life are pure speculation. I don't know for certain, no-one does and there is no one person on this Earth (and there never has been) that can state what the meaning of life is. Because it isn't a fact, it's a synopsis unique to each individual.Lukyo said:
To claim to know what life is all about is just pretentious. Yes, even to have faith in God is merely an assumption. You were not here at the birth of this Earth so you cannot say for certain how it came about. To claim to know through faith is a fallacy, as faith does not explain everything (or anything for that matter). As I have stated before, anyone on this Earth can shroud something in mystics and call it a faith.
I'm not attempting to denounce your faith, I am (or rather was) trying to have a discussion with you, which has now become very religiously focused.
Hell, I don't know, all I know is if you can look back at what you've done, and say you've lived your life to the full, then your one step closer to fullfilling life.
No he didn't, but did he need to have us worship him? According to you he does. Besides, how do we know the Christian god is the right one? (If you say "He was written about in the bible" I am going to ask "How do we know the bible is right". If you respond to that with "God said so" then I am going to point out the circular logic and you are going to deny it).Lukyo said:

Reading that makes me feel weird. I am pretty sure the universe implodes once someone reaches 100%. Or is humanity actually the playerThe Unworthy Gentleman said:
That's what I say: The meaning of life is to reproduce and continue the species.Frequen-Z said:
Works, but only on a personal level, to set a universal rule with that mindset would be troublesome. Seems a bit depressing too to say that you've achomplished your goal(or doing so) without trying.TheNamlessGuy said:
Also, does dieing mean you've failed the point, or that it was never something that could be completed?
