@ Patchiso Yutohru: What happens when you discover your purpose in life? Or are we never going to discover our meaning of life until we are on our death bed?


@ DeathlyHallows: Do we get ANY free will at all, or are we completely destined for every single thought, movement etc? So there is no such thing as free will, only the belief that you have free will? And are we all destined to discover our destinies?

Having not discovered my meaning of life, I haven't a clue. Perhaps asking someone who's already known what their meaning of life is.
 
Every single person has a different meaning to life. It could be meeting someone new, perhaps a girlfriend/boyfriend, or just a mate. Everyone has a purpose, and when that is fulfilled that is when I personally think we die.

Every day there is an opportunity in front of you, most of us are too lazy to see it, or bother to care. But one day you will take that opportunity and that will be the path towards your meaning of life.
 
@ *Dark* Master: When you say that we 'die', do you mean your soul 'dies'? If you fufil your purpose in life, do you get a new one?
 
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.
 
So "One's Soul" just floats around after you are dead? Do you keep your consciousness in your soul?

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.

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

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'?

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? :/
