One of the questions that theists easily throw at people who show skepticism or disbelief in Gods or afterlife is "What is the meaning of life? what is the purpose of life if we do not have an afterlife?"

Somehow i find this question to be shallow because one must first make a logical leap of assuming that "meaning and purpose" are inherent universal qualities before basing such question on that premise.

The argument can be summarized this way;

Life is limited
there is suffering in life
life ends eventually, therefore, what is the meaning and purpose of it all?

We could explore this question on this thread too. But however, i am returning the favor to theists who ask this question.

I will assume there is a heaven, i will assume for this premise there is an afterlife, we need not argue over that for this thread.

What exactly is the meaning of an eternal life in heaven? Demonstrate its meaningfulness and how it is derived?

What is the purpose of a life without end? Demonstrate this purpose and how it is derived?

FTC on Iroko's thread

Hahn u be monitoring spirit

The purpose of afterlife is to gain, for free, everything we were unable to achieve here on earth in heaven.

For instance, Muslims want to sleep and marry as many women as possible but since they can't afford it they instead look forward to 72 virgins in heaven.

The Christians want mansions, good food(the irony) and gold plated roads but since they can't achieve it here they instead wallow in the self delusion that they will get these things in the afterlife.

First and foremost. Is there heaven? Is there anything like eternal life? Let's start from there.
