  • No. The meaning of your life is yours to discover or create. Reach out with your volition and actions towards it.

  • Heard mention of polytheism, and secularism, and no idea that truth in life can be found through a monotheistic God. Not looking for an argument here, just find that funny. The question should rather be, "What is the Meaning of Life apart from God?"

  • What is the problem? Why do people have to have a meaning for their life? Is it so scary to live a life without divine purpose? You could spend your life making life better for yourself, and those around you. I myself am studying to become a physicist. In that way I can further the human understanding of the universe, and help technological progress. By doing this, i enrich life for myself, and all of the human race. That is my purpose.

  • Meaning of life is to enjoy it, enjoy it with as many friends as you can and live on in there hearts.

  • life has no objective meaning, this is a fact, if you dont like it, get over it, however, you can make whatever subjective meaning you want, i find that more pleasing that any objective meaning that is forced upon me from before i was even born, somedays, i feel like doing nothing, having no objective meaning allows this

  • Shit, the Buddha was saying more or less this 2500 years ago.

  • Life is what you make of it. Period. Bad people like Hitler will not be brought to justice by no higher power but us. And so does justice not come to the righteous by itself. We must grasp that ourselves.

    Very inspiring reading.

  • 1,000,000 times wiser than Jesus and his mangy followers.

  • profound. Very, very, very deep.

  • Paul Kurtz versus Craig he "lost" badly... so how does Humanism answer Nihilism?
