Just for the record, I'm happy this guy is gone.  His threads were pure bullshit and taking up too much time that could otherwise be used talking about more interesting bullshit.   :-D

I agree. However, unless he said some terrible shit I missed, I don't see why his post shouldn't have been left as a monument to stupidity.

OH! The meaning...! Oh never mind. ? He's gone and apparently nobody else cares.  :-k

Ever notice that I always end up being the author of the thread after the original guy is banned?

[josephpalazzo]

Does that make you the "Terminator" of AF?

Terminator

A label created by the banned to give voice to their destruction, in the end what they chose to call me is irrelevant

I simply

am

Well guys, the guy was banned, so that must obviously mean that his point was valid and we are in denial.

Recently I was visiting a friend of mine in his house, and I came across a piece of paper which i found later that it belongs to my friend’s high school student son. The document was an assignment in religion, the kid is attending a catholic school, and the assignment was about what the student holds as beliefs and his understanding of religion, God and life generally.
One of the questions was, do you think there is a purpose to life? And it caught me in a way that I started thinking about it myself. It is not the first time I think about that, but what made me interested in it more this time was the fact that it was asked to a 14 years old kid. I believe, even though I don’t have any statistics, that the majority of human being believes that there is a purpose of life or at least they believed in that at some point in their lives.  So, is there a purpose for life? and if there is what is it?

I personally, don’t believe that there is a purpose for life, that is not a surprise being an atheist, but even in the atheist community there are some people who believe there is a purpose. I strongly believe that we are merely accidents of nature, we got the brain that thinks, conclude, and decide. The brain is the key to all our questions about supernatural phenomenon.
What would be the purpose of life that we can possibly think of?  Be good? Make a change? Or just simply do everything in your power to guarantee a pass ticket to heaven. After life is completely disregarding the purpose of life itself, it makes us look like Lab rats or experiment monkeys. So that is definitely not the purpose.   

Let’s think again, so we grow up and as children we go through all kind of experiences good, bad and neutral which leaves it’s marks on us and simply define who we going to be as adults, adulthood is a series of interactions with people around us and there is no clear indications for any fundamental purpose of our lives. It is completely chaos when you attempt to find a pure spiritual experience or a distinctive goal to give a meaningful purpose of life. So basically you can’t find a purpose to your life even when you really look for it, however, many people will claim that they know and they fulfilled their purpose in life and that they are satisfied with it. It could be any sort of achievements ranging from academic to religious and anything between them. Well that is not necessarily satisfy me because that is ultimately means that life have multi-purposes and everyone is tailoring the purpose to themselves.
What I’m saying is that life is so great to have a purpose it is merely an organic process that has a beginning and an end with a pile of events in between that we, as human being, consider a magnificent era. Let us make it clear that there is no purpose of life whatsoever, let us just make clear that we don’t really need to think about it anymore and let us just get done with it.
