  To those who need no purpose in life

  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.. here are some samples of your comments about lifes purpose.

  we may have been put here by someone, or we may not have.

  Gumby,

  Part of the joy of living is trying to find answers.
  Don't let anyone tell you they have found all the answers, and beleive it.
  When we come out of a Cult that claims to have all the answers, and we find out they were lies, we feel like we need to find some one that has all the answer.
  If we let that feeling guide us we will probably find ourselves in another cult.

  Don't be afraid to question.
  Don't be afraid to question authority, because authority to me is just another pressure to come under mind control.

  Embrace your freedom, live it, question it, and come to your own conclusions.
  And change your conclusions as often as you see the need.

  I think JFR's teaching on the nephilim, can be used to prove he had a drinking problem that made his writing well sloppy and inconsistant.

  New light replaceing old light and newer light replacing the new light in the space of one publication.

  AMNESIAN,

  You make much sense.
  While not agreeing with everything you wrote(you wrote so much!), for the most part you have hit the nail on the head.
  I think we need to be less judgemental of what people do when learning the "Truth is not the Truth", and try our best to walk a mile in their shoes before we critisize and abuse.

  space.com dates Noah's flood to 2350 B.C.

  by aChristian in

  the watchtower society dates noah's flood to 2370 b.c.e.

  they do this by following bible chronology quite closely, counting backwards from 607 b.c.e., their date for babylon's destruction of jerusalem.

  however, as we know, the society's date for that event is in error.

  oscartheduck,
  

  I prefer the Kierkegaardian "truth is subjectivity" reasoning , which leads us to the conclusion in this case that evil is whatever you personally come to the conclusion is evil.

  So are you saying that this is true?
  If an evil person murders his mother he did not commit a Evil deed because he personally thought his mother deserved it.
  Yes

  To state that something is objectively evil is to state that you can prove, in all cases, why something is evil and offer a formula that shows this to be true. The reason that there is so much at issue with moral arguments is that it is not possible to provide such an argument in a moral situation, thus we are left with only belief.

  Very interesting.
