I think that I really challenge the athiest position in my last responce on another thread

Hehe, no you don't! But keep trying anyway.

In about a month this thread will be 4 years old.

I wonder if the comments today would be much the same.

Gumby,

I only read the first part of the thread, but considering what you posted, have your viewpoints changed since then?

gumby - I am not going to read 4 years of posts (call me arrogant if you like)

but

The purpose of life, is we are all part of a super computer which is trying to figure out the meaning of life. Don't you dare find the answer 'cas that is the end of it and there's a few things I still have left to do. (don't ask what they are 'cas they're all rude)

gumby, i am one of these "life is externally meaningless" people.

the real point is that, yes, it doesn't matter if i think life has meaning or not. life is what it is. meaning that even if i found a personal, internal way to assign meaning to my life, it would still not make life meaningfull externally. therefore, i am very wary of what internal meaning i do assign to life. in the worlds of carl sagan, i would prefer to experience the universe the way it really is, than to persist in delusion.

i personally think life is totally pointless. and you know what gumby? i am enjoying life more than ever before, honestly. the very fact that i find a lack of meaning, is precisely what i find so LIBERATING. for the first time, i feel free to take a real bite out of the ass of life without worrying about also coming "in line" with some external meaning.

After reading the comments from many on the thread "Is there a purpose in life" by ItsJustMe , posted a couple of days ago I am confussed.
I cannot understand how anyone can be content and not believe life has a purpose.
To not be compelled to wonder how all the design around us is just here because who knows why ......totally baffles me.
At this point in my life believe in a creator but have so many unanswered questions. Things do not make sense in the bible.
If I were to come to believe that the bible WERE a fairytale of myths...I would feel as stupid as I did when finding out the Borg was a crock.
I also would be emotionally devastated.

if you cannot understand how anyone could say there is no real point to life, just try learning a bit about atheism, and use your imagination a little more.

and with regards the bible, don't worry, it's not that scary to abbandon it along with other ancient texts and holy books. you can still find internal meaning and spirituality in this life regardless of what the bible means to you. many on this board have, as i am sure you have noticed. but again, you can assign meaning to the bible internally, but it doesn't change the fact that it is pretty much meaningless in an external sense.
