Title: What does it all mean?
Post by: Obbe on September 01, 2014, 07:17:02 pm
Why are we here?  Why do we think?  Is there a purpose to any of this?  Does anything matter?  Why do you do anything?

I believe we are all here for one reason, to cause change.  whether it be for the better or worse, all that seems to have ever happened in the history of man can be summed into one single word.  Change.  and not the Obama shit

I'm still trying to figure life out and I bet I never will. I try not to take life so seriously anymore, and all I wanna do is cause mayhem.

Existence is gratuitous grace. First, God created all material things--existence, the earth, humans, animals, and plants. God did this because God is good. Thus, the purpose of existence is to know and be in relationship with the creator of all things. Likewise, everything that happens and anything which exists under the sun exists for the reason that you may know God.

I tend toward existentialism and the idea that the world is meaningless and individuals ultimately need to give meaning to their own lives

I already have my own answers.   I just think this is a good topic for discussion.
