Anyway, I much prefer your idea of grabbing a few beers as opposed to this discussion.
Probably, but when someone suggests that evidence of Gods will exists in the form of a man who has not been proven to exist, whose existance is proved in a fictitous collection of books... Well sometimes you just have to know if their serious or not. And seeing as they've convieniently slipped out of thread with the most unconvincing excuse possible, I guess we'll never know... So brew time it is...

There is no meaning. And I don't mean that in a pessimistic way if you can believe it. By there is no meaning I mean that the meaning to life is what you have of it: for perfectionists it's getting everything just right, workaholics it's working, executives it's gathering up as much money as possible and destroying the cash flow of the economy, Westboro Baptist Church it's being nucking futs, et al. There is no set meaning to life other than that it means you're going to die someday- but we all already knew that- so you get to do with it as you like, like existence's most elaborate and intangible toy.

It's a song on Disturbed's first album, The Sickness.

According to them it's referring to blood, or to "Get, get, get, get psycho"

I personally find it amazing that something like a human actually exists, considering the completley staggering combinations of circumstances which would allow life to become complex enough to attain sentinance...

Once this process has been fully understood I shouldn't think the "why" will feel anywhere near as important...

I have trouble acknowledging a meaningless, accidental existance however and so choose to spend it as wisely as I can...

The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything... is 42... Ok just kidding, now for my actual philosophy.

The True Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, is actually a misguided answer. We assume that there is an answer to the question of the Meaning of Life for our race, and the universe, as a whole. I like to think that there is an answer to the Meaning of Life, however, the Meaning of Life is different for every individual residing in this Universe. For example: All I want in life is a wife that would love me to the end, and vice versa. I want children with this women, and to be a great father, as well as a novelist.

It is simple. However, to actually know the meaning for the universe as a whole? truthfully I think its impossible. Unless you want to dabble in that 'Because God Loves Us' Bullshit, I really don't think that is true either.

And if someone has already made a post around the same meaning, NINJA!

Give your ideas being serious philosophy or just a joke, I don't care. What is the meaning of life, but I must ask no Hitch hiker's Guide to the Galaxy References, we know the joke, 42.

My idea is just to have fun and seek wisdom, thats my idea
To find and fulfil your meaning in life.

What about a waffle wrapped in bacon? Or bacon-pancakes?

No, that is the answer to the universe, not the meaning. GOD!

Not a bad answer. I think you are trying to please individuals rather than the general population with this one though(also it kind of implies there is a superior being controlling us all). Are you just saying that everyone has to give it a meaning? To which I say, why must it have a meaning?

Better? I guess.

Which I don't.

I'm beginning to think it is a game of tolerance for putting up with hypocrites, douche bags, pussies, and those people that are all three combined... or bacon... probably bacon...
