  What is the purpose of life?

  by slimboyfat in

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  John Man I don't need a totalitarian dictator in the sky telling me how I should act. In fact the most effective method I have found with my children is the principle of empathy. Not hard. No god needed. It also has a clear evolutionary explanation unrelated to Cofty. If he is your reference point you really haven't done your research.

  Look to see how many people have died of AIDS in Africa due to the Catholic position. It's disgusting. But it fits within the narrative of the cult of human sacrifice that all theists believe in. Truly disgusting.

  John Mann life is more meaningful and precious now that I'm almost certain there is no afterlife. Are you catholic? You went from a modern day abusive cult to one of the originals that is responsible for hundreds of thousands of child abuse victims and millions dying too young in Africa due to the condom use ban.

  See this is what a theist morality gets you. A human sacrifice cult that thinks it's merciful that a billion people go to purgatory just because they were born on the wrong continent. And you theists wonder why you are derided here and ever more so in the public square.

  Looter. When my 5 year old son was in the hospital with complications of chemo treatment for leukemia and as I jolted out of a slumber at 1AM to very young children screaming in pain literally woke me up to the ridiculousness of a god, much less a loving one.

  Over 9 million children under the age of 5 die every year. Many in horrific pain. What do you have to say about the billion plus Hindus that happened to be born into a polytheistic family and culture.

  Theism is truly a disgusting and reprehensible belief system.

  Thank goodness she is improving. I was getting scared with the fluid building up in her lungs. That has been fixed by the wonderful specialists. She also had the incision stitched up today and got up some.

  Thank you all for your dear thoughts. Including those that pm'd me. I am very uneasy when it comes to all things medical related. We have had a lot of serious scares over the last few years.

  Thank you everyone for your kind words. Sitting next to a hospital bed wrecks me. All the memories with my son. Now my wife. It's difficult not to get mad that my family can't even send a text message. She is doing a little better now. I broke down at the hospital tonight. Hoping the worst is behind us.

  My wife is in the hospital. Complications of a ruptured appendix. She had it removed around 1AM Friday morning. Part of her intestine removed. Now she is in continous pain, is dry heaving, and has fluid in her lungs.

  We have 2 small children. Fortunately my mom still helps, but she has to deal with the rest of my family some that live with her shunning us. She literally has to hide when she is with us.

  I don't know how much more shit I can take. We just can't seem to catch a break. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. I'm scared.
