There are better books to believe in, tbh.

Frodo Baggins is the Messiah.

quick question --> if god doesn't exist then what is the purpose of life?

 

[Silver Persian]

Why does life inherently need a purpose?

 

[Ak0ona-Matata]

with no purpose what is the point of life?

Maybe you should go in the opposite direction. Does the concept of god only exist because people want their lives to feel purposeful?

Why does life need a point?

if there's no 'point to life' then why do we WANT to live.

 

[Silver Persian]

with no purpose what is the point of life?

I fully believe that you can give your life a purpose.

But purpose is not a pre-requisitie for the existence of life.

Because death hurts, we are naturally abject to change and we know nothing else.

Thats ultatimately very bleak view of the world. But do you actually have such an iview? Or is the idea of having such a view of the world satisfying?

Heart stops beating, usually they get locked in a box and buried.

Much the same as what happens to theists really.

We don't know, but we're not afraid to admit our lack of knowledge.

why should anyone put their beliefs in something which has no foundational evidence to support it? you only have to look at the numerous mutually exclusive religions and belief systems around the world to know that 'faith' fails miserably. im personally more careful with what i believe to be likely or unlikely because i know how easy it is for humans to get something wrong, especially when emotions are involved

I dont think, that even if i give you historical evidence, of Jesus' existence, you would believe it.

Also, please explaint to me how Christianity, which is based on faith "fail?"

It is good to be cautious in this day and age.

And also, emotions does not carry you closer to God.

Are you suggesting that we are afraid of admitting our lack of knowledge?
I"m not a very religious person but I simply don't understand how some one can be so positive of the non-existence of something.

I do have such a view, and yes, it is satisfying. But it doesn't mean that i don't like my life or am waiting anxiously for it to end.
Although, from sheer intellectual curiosity, I am fascinated by the concept of an end to life and mostly I just don't look forward to any pain or leaving my friends, family and any unfinished books.

Are you positive of the non-existence of the flying spaghetti monster.

If yes, why?

A lack of evidence, perchance?
