Its just sad... I weep for my people. To them myles was a Christian and therefore more important than common Nigerian kids.
I am really sad for both tragedies but then, it could be anyone. I just don't like the fact that one tragedy is priotized over the other.
Well said.

It is better to believe in the other lie that a Jew died for your sins, thus giving you a purpose. So much for the reasoning faculties we possess.

No! It is life without Christ that has no meaning. This is what happens to people who are separated from the one who is life himself, the become confuse and feel like life is meaningless. They think they are wise but that emptiness in their heart proves they are desperately in need of the God who his love. If you find God you find the purpose of life.
Okay, so what purpose does Christ give your life?


Just so you know, there are many Nigerian christians living meaningless lives in poverty. Some wasting their lives as slaves to political godfathers. Some wasting their lives as ushers in church that wear the same clothes every sunday with body odour.

Except the animal reasoning part, I do think animals reason, albeit not to the level of man. Google it. The popular belief that we are the only animals that reason is just another saying to make us feel better about ourselves.
You may be right.

However, I think the issue is that animals dont reason to our level.....

And someone thought I will fall for the lie that atheism isn't purposeless.
Atheism itself does not have a purpose. It is simply the disbelief in deities.


However, an atheist doesnt have to believe that life is purposeless. It is up to the individual atheist to get his or her philosophy from his or her own school of thought.

Death and Meaning

In the next 100 years, none of you reading this post will be alive.

Life is so fleeting when one considers how short it can be.

Also consider that our galaxy is over 10 billion years old. We never get to even live a quarter of that time frame.


What really is the point of life if it ends all in death?


One lives all his or her life struggling to survive ie struggling to avoid death which will inevitably occur.


A medical student who was the best in his class throughout university died on his first day as a doctor.


You can work hard all your life and die the moment you want to reap what you have sowed.

===================================================

An animal life

What is the purpose of a fish? To be eaten by sharks and human beings? Just to live and die as food for other animals?
What is the purpose of a cat? To beg for milk and fish from humans?

We can all agree that assigning a purpose to an animals life is ridiculous. Why then are humans exempt?

We think we are special because we can reason. A dog looking at the moon can not understand the significance of the lunar cycle. The same way we can never understand the universe in its entirety. So how are we really different?

Our reasoning has limits. What if the purpose of life is truly beyond our reasoning abilities? What if the minds of the gods were meant for more evolved beings?


========================================================================


Purpose and Religion

To the religious people claiming that our purpose as humans to serve and worship God, they should understand that it is not just true logically if you consider the death of babies.

Babies who die in the womb due to natural/spontaneous abortions never get to worship God or even develop the reasoning ability to understand any concept of God. Natural abortions are the most common abortions that occur in millions every year.

Those babies that die in the millions do not get to worship God in their brief life. So, I ask again; what is the purpose of life? What exactly is God's purpose for babies dying natural deaths in the womb?


What is even the essence of religion? The way religion was practised in the 7th century is different from the one practised today. It all seems arbitrary- religious doctrines sway to the interpretations of whichever religious leaders are in power or the most vocal.

Buddhism promises some inner peace, Islam promises a total way of life for peace, Christianity promises salvation, Paganism promises oneness with the earth. But all these do not guarantee a better life on earth. You could die the same day you convert to any of these religions. One can live a fulfilled life without any of these religions.


====================================================================

So what is your purpose in this life?


What exactly is your purpose?
1) To leave a legacy?
All legacies get bastardized after a while. Jesus Christ is now popularly known as a white Italian hippie. Whereas, in reality Jesus would have been a dark skinned radical Jew.

Worse, only few people get to leave legacies. If you dont have money or power, you will die a nobody. Afterall, even the few people that will remember you will die eventually.

2) To enjoy life to the fullest?
Hedonists usually die quicker. What if you were born without legs or as a Siamese twin? What then? You wouldnt be able to enjoy most sports. Most people will treat you as a freak. Se.x or marriage partners would be harder to come by. And so on.


3) Religious devotion (to the afterlife)
Yes, the afterlife. A life after death that you have never seen and cannot prove. A haven that you have been promised by religion but with crazy standards to fulfil.
If preparing for heaven is the purpose of life then, life is truly pointless. Why not just send us to heaven directly? Why would we need to be tried and tested if God knows our inclinations? What is the point in putting us in such a world where the only the fittest survive? This life is such an unnecessary test if one adheres to an all-knowing God. We are nothing but pawns in an eternal chess game.


4) I was born to be a leader/accountant/doctor
Hitler could also claim that he was born to lead the Aryan race and exterminate "rats" like the Jews. No one is born to be anything. We can only prepare ourselves and our talents for a brighter future.
Wayne Rooney was also a talented boxer. Man chooses his destiny (at the discretion of fate).

===================================================

What do I believe as the purpose of meaning of life?

Life has no meaning. We only ascribe meaning to it because it is our human nature to see patterns even where there are no patterns.

The best we can do is give our lives meanings ourselves through the one factor that distinguishes us from animals- reasoning.

As arbitrary as that sounds, reason and logic are the only effective tools for understanding our universe and navigating it. A well reasoned life is a better life.

That is not the first time, he has made many inane comments. I have seen him say many ridiculous things. Just an example:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEwbjWiUV3s#t=153

Fact, there is no difference between Bill Maher and Fox news when it comes to Islam and Muslims.
First of all, Bill Maher doesnt support the Iraq war. Very different from Fox news.

It is funny that you keep putting up videos without pointing out what is wrong with what he is saying. Bill Maher is mostly talking about "radical muslims" not just muslims.


There are real islamophobes like Ann Coulter and her rightwing nutjobs. But even as these people are bigots, they are not on the streets beheading infidels like the bigots from islamic countries. An important point that Usermane makes.



There is real islamophobia but, muslims should understand that many people in the West will never take it seriously because they see worse bigotry coming from the middle east and islamic societies.


It would be like campaigning for men's rights when women are 10 times more oppressed than men. Both women and men have rights issues but women's rights are given priority because of the level of oppression they get. Similarly, non-muslims get 10 times the oppression in islamic countries that muslims get in the west.

Which one is worse?

Islamophobia in the west VS non muslim discrimination in the middle east/islamic countries-


Islamophobia in the west
-muslimas in hijab abused in the street
-mosques desecrated
-muslims not given certain jobs
-harsh treatment in the media



non muslim discrimination in islamic countries
-beheading of non-muslims on both false and real accusations of blasphemy
-blocking of new churches or synagogues to be built
-classifying atheism as terrorist act/illegal
-forced dress codes
-treated as "unholy" or "dirty" people who are "sexual perverts" and "pig eaters"
-cant get most government jobs

Seconded.

The funny thing is that at least 4 posters have given the op the simplest and common sense reasons, but he is still asking the question.

I guess that all the Op really wants to hear is that the devil is to blame.

These African minds are just unbelievable in the way they are trying to completely ignore the history of Christianity.
He is asking why the people that originally sold christianity to him are now abandoning it.

If the Toyota family of Japan to start abandoning Toyota cars to buy other brands of cars for themselves , or they start exploring other suitable, much safer, more efficient means of transportation with far less pollution, then, shouldn't you, the importer of Toyota cars, begin to reconsider your purchase of Toyota cars?

Another analogy: The op should also be asking why do Europeans and Americans abandon the cars that are imported to us as Tokumbo cars?
Sometimes though, experience is the best teacher. I always knew that Europeans arent religious. I had to see it for myself to understand why. A society that operates on efficiency doesnt bother about religion.

Why religion is dying in the west

1) Many Western people see religion (especially abrahamic) as a roadblock to science and technological advancement. eg Jews and muslims kill animals with barbaric techniques. Religious people stopping stem cell research and denying evolution


2) Many compare the violent and barbaric history of a religious Europe with the relative peacefulness and advancement of a secular Europe.


3) Religion and philosophy/logic do not mix. Philosophy is the cornerstone of Western civilization


4) Theocracy is bad for capitalism.
