Do you think every individual has a different purpose in life?

We have no purpose in life... all we can do is wander with stubby little feet and hope for the best when faced with the many diseases and etc. that is developing in todays society. Nature... Is survival of the fittest... and we can already see that with the millions of people dieing from sickness and disease from micro organisims

Every single person has a role to fulfill before he/she dies!
Some people may be fulfilling their roles without even knowing it, and some people are still searching for it!
But we must believe that we were put on earth for a reason! An important one! Not just to watch TV and Eat!

How am I supposed to know Hoppyfred. I am guessing so Amachi, it depends. I saw a movie that mentioned that, and I read it somewhere.

And also Hoppyfred, the 'soul' supposedly can't die.

Yes! One's body can be destroyed/decayed, but one's soul lives on!
Lol, I think you just quoted Harry Potter. EDIT: I swear I didn't see your name before I wrote that. XD

Whats all this nonsense about souls? Souls exist in our imagination because of mans great fear death. Theres nothing after death, it is the end. There is no reason for anyone to be alive, you have to create your reason to live.

Yes. The Bible tells us what the meaning of life is. If I find it, I'll update this post.
I fully rofled in rl when I read that. Is discussing religion against the rules? Seems like it would be.

The bible also says the sun orbits the earth, the earth is flat, and the earth has four corners. I guess if I try to go to Australia on a boat I will fall into space! D:

(Yes I am mocking and not seriously believing that will happen.)

Me being atheist, I believe there is no true, complex, "You are here to do great things!" universal meaning of life. You are not here for a reason. You create your own reason for life. My reason to life for me, to be successful. The meaning of life in a universal sense is to stay alive then die. :3
I would rather be with friends and family~

You being atheist wouldn't have actually have read the Bible and therefore are just making an assumption based on what people presumably told you about the Bible.

BTW, if you were to go to Australia if the world WERE flat, you could always just go the other way to it...

So, u don't believe in the afterlife!
Personally, I do believe in the afterlife,
life is merely a short passageway, it is after Death that eternal life begins!
A life of peace where no enmity or quarrel occurs!

Does EVERYBODY get into this 'eternal life'? Even 'sinners'? Or is it like 'Heaven and Hell'?

@ Tyranitar2: Ah! There you are! As Vice-President / Club Lunatic, you're meant to show up more often!!!

How is anyone supposed to know the answer to this question? Last I checked, everyone of us are living flesh. Perhaps discussing eternal life with your pastor? :/

You're a thirteen year old boy, not a college professor. Sometimes the reason people go online is so they get away from having to think so much.

Then ask someone else. From what you're asking of many other people, it seems like you're interested in religion in one way or another. After all, depending upon your religion, you may see this thread differently than others. Besides, it's not like you have to be a religious person to get input from a pastor.

So you think there is no such think as Fate?
If you mean like destiny, no.

What makes human beings able to think of ideas?
Evolution. There were at times many more species of human, so we're not really some kind of odd one out (though I'll admit then it could be said we're the odd genus out). I'd throw you a list of species in the **** genus but PC's censoring system kills the URL, as well as this sentence. :(

Do you believe in alternate dimensions or other forms of life on distant planets?
Other dimensions:
1-dimensional — line
2-dimensional — square
3-dimensional — cube
4-dimensional — tesseract
However, 'other dimensions' in the sense of other universes I'm unsure about. Unless someone manages to go past the event horizon and come back, I'll remain unsure.

Life on other planets: yes; I should think most of it will be unintelligent however, which is just as well given how humans tend to act without precognition.

I am a religious person, and even I find this thread wacky. Too many theories that makes no sense. You wanna knowthe meaning of life? Figure it yourself.

The bible also says the sun orbits the earth, the earth is flat, and the earth has four corners. I guess if I try to go to Australia on a boat I will fall into space! D:

Yeah, mock religion. That makes you look very cool. It shows you are open minded, and respectful of others!

(Yes, I am mocking and not seriously believing that is true.)

@ Lusankya: What IS life? Is it just living? Or is it just meaningless?
Life is the act of living. Beyond that, I can't really give you a better explanation xD. Life has a somewhat elusive definition, we all must decided ourselves what is living and non-living. For our time, this is quite simple, but in the future where there are AIs that are every bit as intelligent as we are, the definition may become quite more difficult to reach a consensus on.

Superstring (or M) theory states that there are an infinite number of parallel universes in which everything that can happen does happen. So imagine, there's a universe out there where Pokemon, Star Wars, etc. are real...

As for life on other worlds, the universe is so incredibly vast that to believe we live on the only planet capable of supporting life is the height of foolishness. There are trillions upon trillions upon trillions of other planets out there, the chances of there being only a single world to have any property is insignificantly small.

You shouldn't really be talking about being open-minded, sims796...

And again, if all our fates are decided, then what's the point of existence? You don't do anything. Everything's decided for you. Why would you even want to live like that?

Yeah. Have another look at my posts, and try understanding. I don't think I ever said that our fates are pre-determined. Hell, nnot a sentence in that post even sound close to it. I said if he wants to know the meaning,you must figure it for yourself.

And unlike him, I am not making fun of others believe, so how am I at fault again?

When I made this thread, I was bored. I'll be blunt.

I do not want any sacrilege or alike. Please refrain from posting if it is only to mock over people's beliefs.

I am not indicating ANYBODY, please DO NOT post saying "I'm not being sacreligious!"

I never said you were! I am merely taking a precaution because I do not want my thread to be cited as the start of a flame war.


EDIT: On the upside, I am glad everybody is being so philosophical!

Having quoted Lusankya in his post, I don't believe that Sims796 was saying that you were the one who was making fun of other people's beliefs on this subject. After all, you're one of the people, having started this thread, that are making this subject to continue to go on and not die out by sparking discussion and asking questions related to the subject at hand.
