Try reading about Utilitarianism and Mill as a representative for that position if you want some meaning for you life

>>681637252
oh no i have meaning. its not religious though.
just wondering what everyone else has chosen to exist as.

>>681637008
I see life as a test, the meaning is just enjoying life in general and to grow and become a better person
Try to live your life so that when you die you can look back with a smile and say "I regret nothing"

Our most basic human instinct is self preservation. Life is just about continuing the human race. If you're crying because you can't get a gf. Good. Don't. I don't want your genes in the history of this race.

>>681637613
Yeah right, you fucking primate

>>681637613
what if the basic human instinct is love. what then? babies are not interested in self preservation. they would crawl off a cliff real fast.

“I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that shit out by myself in the third grade.”

real talk anon. we exist because a series of unlikely events happened which spawned life on a rock in space. life has no meaning, people choose to give it meaning so they think their life isnt meaningless. if god exist he is dumb. if you achieve anything in this life its meaningless because you cant bring it with you if there is an afterlife. which could or couldn't be a thing. I live to have fun. you can give life meaning if you want OP. but thats on you.

Random thing that happened in the universe.

>how does one deal with the very possible reality that life is meaningless?
Just like everyone else.

>what if god is a real being and not all that special?
Who cares ?

>how would we react to not being satisfied with what god really is?
As usual.

>>681638151
thats not an answer, its just another question, why do we want to live?

>>681638153
>if god exist he is dumb.

>>681638378
because nobody knows what if anything happens after.

>>681638378
Because life wants to continue.

>>681637563
Ultilitarism has nothing to do with religion whatsoever lol
It was 'invented' by Bentham but Mill's way of expanding it seems more logical to me
You should check it out

>>681638153
no its just ur life that has no meaning and theres no afterlife for u unless u arrange it so. what the fuck do u think theres a hundred gods to pick from for? and have u ever created anything? think of 5 things at once u simple minded fuck.. gods a vibration in an acid trip, hes also a million other things. its not as simple as bitter atheist make it out to be. not to mention uv left out quantum physics entirely.. shit on ur own spirituality bro..

>>681638482
life wants to continue?
what exactly is life? this will probably boil down to what is consciousness and then into more unaswerable questions.

we will never know the truth until we die.

>>681638464
that dosnt sound like an answer to his question. and plenty of people know for sure what happens. but if u buy into"reality" ur just stuck. theres no way out for atheists.. they just get bitched eaten and recycled. they choose to live for nothing and carry nothing with them.

>>681638378
It's simple: If you chose to end your life or don't manage to get your genes to the next generation your unfit genes will be sorted out, leaving those who don't struggle with reasoning but just do stuff. Evolution may be partially random but patterns exist as that makes the character of a being you can expect of it. After all we are what we are made of initially and that defines our options in life.

allah gave us this life, because he wants to see what we do with it.

If we are worth to get in the endless paradise, or if we are going to rott in hellfire.

It's a Test...

>>681638734
>What is life?
Life is a characteristic distinguishing physical entities having biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Youre making this too difficult. Life wants to continue, because it is what life does, it lives.

>my trips

upon death, people see what they want to see very literally in a sort of "trip". those expecting nothing would see nothing, just blackness. sucks 4 them

I don't really understand why it's so hard to accept that existence has no meaning than except to just exist. Why folks have to be little special snow flakes that their lives have to have special purpose will never make sense to me. Do you even realize that some other sperm could have hit that egg instead of yours and you would not even exist? The odds of some other individual being born instead of you are so high and you're complaining about not being special? Get over it and just appreciate you got to experience life instead of being forever in the abyss.

I think life is about power.

Everything you do and everything everyone else does is all about leveraging one another and exerting control in some way

Utilitarianism is a bunch of nonsense.

>>681637008
There's no meaning, it's just our minds tricking us, we're just self aware animals living in a giant rock indifferent to our condition.

We've lived this life a million times and will live it a million more. We've made the exact same choices and will make them again and again. The only difference between this plane of existence and the previous one is that this one is ten feet lower.

>true gods
this is a fallacy of some kind forgot which one.
you can just change the definition of god to fit your argument that you made up by yourself.

babies need human contact to develop certain things. without human contact theyd be savage like an animal who will only ever care about primal survival.

>>681640347
but why do we try to control though? just to have some kind of support to stand on to get higher up in the ladder?

Sure, but that depends what significance means to you. Making discoveries that some else most likely would have (either earlier or later depending on the situation)? Or maybe being Genghis Khan and raping so many women and killing so many others that 0.5% of males on this earth exist because of your actions?

When you're young, you struggle to love yourself. This is hell.
When you begin growing older, you learn to love and accept your flaws. Then you're working on a healthy way to manage them. This is purgatory.
When you begin growing older still, and you've traveled roads long and far upon deaths door, you'll understand who god is, and you will embrace death with the love of yourself. This is heaven.

The bible is greatest story ever told. No man's experience is entirely universal. But understanding metaphors and not taking them literally will help you understand that certain truths do lie within all religions, for at least someone. Remember to keep a level head, and to not get swept into the entirety of someone else's philosophy. The commander of worship becomes an idol over yourself, and true happiness can not be found in blind worship outside yourself.

nobodys changing the definition dude. humans are considered gods by people who know any truths about our reality other than the illusion itself(which is what most of us only see) and yea its all gona sound made up if u believe in reality. and idk what all that other shits about.. that's raising a kid not creating life as "true(higher dimensional)god" would create, in my opinion.

The idea that the ideas and thoughts and dreams and fears that exist in my mind are all just chance, some process of randomness and evolution, is not something I can believe. So many things around us just so hard to believe are real.

IMO this is the dream. I don't think it's you having the dream, just we're some projection of something bigger than we could ever comprehend. The idea of the universe experiencing itself seems to sum the thought up.

I like the way u put that, and its very usefull just like plenty of lies in plenty of religions.. that's not what heaven is tho in my opinion. heaven is simply the jewish Christian gods kingdom. just as their are many. people misunderstood jesus, when he said its important to be good, and when he spoke of the importance of an afterlife. again I like how u see it, but if u think the bible is the greatest story ever, u need to expect heaven if u want an afterlife. this life is our best guess of whats happening to us.. we see our guess... just like when we die we make it and are stuck their with whoever agrees with what we are seeing.. i hope I made some sense.lol reality is a lie, but an important lie. don't let it intrude on the billions of other things happening outside of this kidna pretty slave plantation we are on..

>>681643047
awsomeee, thankyou!

It's all random. Things randomly happened that lead to us being here right now with the possibility of being smart enough to think about these things. That doesn't give us meaning, it literally could have been any other life form on this planet. And with billions and billions of planets out there the chance there are billions of other life forms having this same questions and different answers is gigantic.

We are not special. We are only lucky. And as such we must understand that all that matters is to enjoy it while it lasts.

Not for some higher good or code of morals but for ourselves. Pretty sopn it will all be over and all that we will have will be our experiences.

So make them count.

We were created to reproduce. Its our nature, it's our internal desire. We can't escape the very thing we were born to do, and that is to create more of us, we are nothing more but fuel to the fire of huminty. Sorry to break it to you OP.

>>681638153
We were all a mere coincidence, we exist on accident. We just happened. Now we're just little play things to the other beings of a higher plane or just to the elements left with is. And honestly, I may not like the idea of being a one trick species, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
