Please explain also and it will try my best to disprove you with the bible and also who do you believe made the Ten Commandments if ti wasn't God because these laws really tackled the how the human mind acts.

If we had a single goal in life then life itself would most probably not exist at this point. After all - the people throughout history that dedicated themselves to science, medicine and exploring all had different goals in life and without them working towards their own goals we wouldn't have penicillin, Poland or power generators.

I'm still going to push for improvement of life, here. After all, the explorers did what they did because they wanted to become famous, therefore improving their life, am I right? However, I will admit that there have been exceptions, but those are obviously far and wide between, and I would say have been cancelled out by the rest of us.

Oh and we are heading towards something... I believe it's called 'death'. Generally experienced by 99.9% of the population (The .1% couldn't be found at the time of the survey - something about 'BRB, gone missin''. As for the start - that is referred to as birth to us speakers of English. This also happens to 99.9% of people around today (A surprising number swear wholeheartedly that they were never born - we refer to these as 'crazies'.

really, are you 16? i didn't pass the sixth sixth grade? i have a b.a in chemistry, chemical engineering, and wood science. but thats besides the point. i lump you together because you are all the same. one excuse after another for why there cant be a higher power but we can still have a direction in life. towards what? for what purpose, why would it matter if you died a hobo, or happy, or today. if there was nothing ahead, then there is no point in trying to reach it. does that make sense. oh i guess since you havent graduated middle school yet, you havent taken any classes on the developement of the human brain yet. but then again thats your excuse right. have some practicality. and grow up a little, get a family, work HARD for a living, move out of your parents house. get a life, then tell me its meaningless. if you cant see the beauty all around you, then you are truly a lost generation.

Hyper - I see the achievements of the past as blocks upon which we must build on and improve. Each person has some part to play upon the stage of life, whether they're big or small, everyone has something they work towards or strive for.

one excuse after another for why there cant be a higher power but we can still have a direction in life. towards what?


I can only speak for myself, but as an atheist who believes that when I die I simply won't exist anymore, my life and happiness is all I have. I didn't ask to be here, but I am so I want to make the most of my short time.
You don't need the promise of heaven or eternal bliss to motivate you to have a purposeful life. In fact, it seems to be that those who do believe in the afterlife are more or less biding their time, waiting to die so they can supposedly experience that eternal bliss.
But it's certainly not God that motivated me to go back and get my PhD or marry my wife or do any of the things I do. Yet I still have motivation to do them. God is a crutch for most.

why isn't a God accepted as a answer for everything?


Because believing in a god is a matter of believing. I don't believe in a god, no matter if I wanted to or not. Any idea why I should not look for answers in science, which at least makes sense as soon as you understand it?

i think America must believe in God Because everything in america is based on christianity from swearing on the bible to the quotes on our money. But i also know that our founding fathers werent christians so why did they have so many religious quotes.

really, are you 16?

A little too high. Want another go?
i didn't pass the sixth sixth grade?

I say this because you apparently have either lost track of where the "Shift" key is on your keyboard, or do not remember how to capitalize. And you're right, sixth grade is a little too generous of me. Perhaps fourth grade would be slightly more accurate, or fifth. That was my mistake.
i have a b.a in chemistry, chemical engineering, and wood science.

I will take you at your word.
but thats besides the point.

If it's besides the point, why would you mention it?
i lump you together because you are all the same.

No, no we are not.
one excuse after another for why there cant be a higher power

This right here is exactly what I am talking about. Being an anarchist doesn't mean that you do not believe in god, it means that you support lack of government. Being an emo means you are depressed. The only type of person out of those three that actually disbelieves in God is an atheist, therefore you should not group us together because we are entirely different and you should not stereotype us as being the same. Just because you do not believe in God does not mean you support anarchy, and vice versa. Just because you do not believe in God does not mean you are depressed, and vice versa. What part of this concept do you not understand?
but we can still have a direction in life. towards what?

Towards improvement of life, which I think I've already mentioned a few times.
for what purpose, why would it matter if you died a hobo, or happy, or today.

Now you're being confused. Just because our death or life has had no impact does not mean that in our life we had no goal!
if there was nothing ahead, then there is no point in trying to reach it.

There is something ahead. It's called improvement, because the grass is always greener on the other side. For example, I live in a middle class family. Great. Do you know what my goal is? I'll tell you. My goal is to become a doctor, and help people, and by doing so help myself in that I will get paid for helping people. Does this make sense to you? There is always something ahead, otherwise we would all do absolutely nothing, otherwise we would all still be living like cavemen, otherwise communism would be successful.
does that make sense.

Not to me, but I'm sure that it does to you.
oh i guess since you havent graduated middle school yet, you havent taken any classes on the developement of the human brain yet.

No I have not, you are correct.
but then again thats your excuse right.

My excuse for what, exactly? Are you saying that the reason I do not believe in God is because I have not yet studied the workings of the human brain? Is that it?
have some practicality.

In what field? Are you saying that practicality and common sense make the existence of God obvious, or what?
and grow up a little,

Don't worry, I am. I'm almost five feet tall.
get a family,

I already have a family. I have a dad, uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. Is this what you mean? Oh, I'm sorry, you must've meant the other kind of family, like a family unit. Like, you're saying I should become a mom or something?
I won't even comment on that. It would be too easy.
work HARD for a living,

I think that's called child labor, and I think it's illegal. And are you implying that I don't work hard? I do. Just at school, which pays you in education, not in money.
move out of your parents house.

I'm twelve. Again, I'm pretty sure that kind of thing would get somebody arrested.
get a life,

Says the guy who apparently has made it through college, but spends his time debating with 12-year-olds he's met on the internet.
then tell me its meaningless
.
Hold up, you're the one who's saying life is meaningless, here! Don't try to put words in my mouth, buddy, because it's not going to work. You're saying that without God, our lives would be meaningless and we would all sit around doing nothing, and I'm the one trying to rebutt you, not the other way around. Life has meaning, and life's meaning is to improve itself.
if you cant see the beauty all around you,

I see both beauty and ugliness in the world every day, believe me. For example, in the first grade my classmate's mom and grandparents were all killed by a drunk driver, and that is a prime example of both human stupidity and the ugliness in the world. But then I look another way, and I see my grandfather surviving a heart attack, and we are able to have another Fourth of July with him. That is a prime example of the beauty in the world, and also an example of human advancement, fueled, of course, by our desire to improve our lives.
then you are truly a lost generation.

Yeah, somebody already wrote a poem about that. Of course, it is nearly irrelevant, but it serves as the perfect tool for me to use against you in my joking rebuttal.

good point. why would obama rush to the aid of the muslims, when clearly seperation of church and state should be in effect here.

He isn't rushing to the aid of Muslims - he's rushing to the aid of freedom of religion and trying to stop bigots like you screaming about some sort of muslim takeover and trophy keeping...

Bravo. I couldn't have put it better myself. I would try, were it not for that fact that if I did, it would only seem that I was copying you. Lol. Except...

I just don't see how that ties in to the argument we were having.

not allowing Muslim to build their mosque would be a serious threat to our freedoms.
