When you die, you die. That's it. Why fear it? Your brain won't still be functioning so it's not like you'll be thinking to yourself "Oh crap I'm dead!" after you kick the bucket.
Huh.. i used to not care, but now I'm feeling really relaxed about the whole thing.
I Just want them to burn me when I die. I don't see the point in setting aside a piece of land for me when I'm not even around anymore to use it.
I think the bible was written as a guideline by the founding fathers or somewhere around that era. (not thousands of years ago like people lead you to beleive) But, I do think the bible is a good thing as long as its making people's lives better, and as long as people who beleive the bible don't try to push shit on others. As long as your keeping your thoughts to yourself and seeing from as many points of view as possible, how the fuck could you not live a good life? I mean, sure I draw pentagrams on everything when I'm around religious people just to make them look down upon me, but still, for me it's all fun and games because they're the ones that look upon other religions, and immediately interperate them false. To be frank, if there ever was a slight chance of hell existing, don't you think it would be more fun than heaven anyway? Sinning, doing whatever the fuck you want? Personally, I beleive in science. Bottomline, thats it. There have been so many scientific hints that suggest no god.

Uh...dude...the bible was written throughout the first millenia and finalized shortly after 1200AD or so.
There was this lady at my old church who thought dinosaurs were a government consperacy to undermine religion. Strange enough she was one of the nicest persons you will ever meet.
I just dont really care one way or the other. If there is a god who cares, if there isnt then I can just laugh it up at the religious peoples expence. I have more important things to worry about like whats good on tv. I think when people get too serious about anything its bad news, wether there athiest or religious. Zelots on either side should never be permited to procreate.

There is no meaning to life, there is no masterplan behind all of this, life get a meaning for you and the meaning changes as you grow up and understand the world better, life is made of choices and the meaning of life for you is a choice you have to make.
There is no right and wrong, good or evil, these are simply archetypes comic-book writers made.
It can be summed-up by one simple sentence:
"Everything is relative".

I wonder if any of the moderators or administrators are going to do anything about ancient topics being brought up these days. I guess they have more important things to worry about haha! But, I should have to say that I also agree with that famous quote, "Everything is relative". I suppose that everyone is entitled to his/her beliefs regardless.
And... yea... I was just writing in a topic, seems pretty normal to me.
Also topics only get better with time... like wine, or... cheese, yea... cheese!

I don't get the joke either... I just looked up "meaning of life" on Google Images and that's what came up...
