What is the point of life? (atheists only please)

Get a better hobby, deluded troll!

God will test his faithful on this life and reward on heaven but his mockers will drown in worldy gains yet forever burn in hell in the afterlife

God will test his faithful on this life and reward on heaven but his mockers will drown in worldy gains yet forever burn in hell in the afterlife

All from the old testement which is overuled by the new testement

As a believer of religion my answer is because God forbids it.

Anyone else find it amusing when atheists say "I don't do this or that because it is wrong". Why is it wrong? From whom are you getting your authority? There is nothing in atheism that says murder or rape is wrong. If you say "Well, I would feel bad if I did such a thing so I don't do it" then that seems to suggest that morals are subjective. You may feel guilty, but what if the man next to you finds pleasure in the very act you condemn? Who's right? And who's wrong?

Another thing I've heard atheists say: "What's the point in this life if the goal is to go to heaven?" Well, what's the point in doing a mock test if the results are meaningless? But you see, the goal in life is not to go to heaven and be reunited with loved ones. No, the goal is to know GOD in all his infinite glory. GOD said in ISAIAH "I MADE YOU FOR MY GLORY". Who then, are you, to answer back to GOD and say "Why has thou formed me this way?" Can the potter not mold and form the clay in which he pleases? Now as CS Lewis said, you cannot be right and God anymore wrong than say a river can run higher that its source. God is the root; you are the branch. If you cut yourself off you die. Just as Jesus said you would. Those who reject him perish.

This is really stupid.

NEGATIVE ARGUMENT AGAINST YOUR POSITION:

Firstly, where does YOUR authority come from? If you're saying that murder is wrong because "God told you so", then there's two areas of pursuit.

1) Euthyphro's dilemma - is something moral because God decided it to be moral, or did God decide it to be moral because it is moral? If it's the former, then morality is completely arbitrary - murder could, conceivably, be moral. If it's the latter, then you're left in the same position as the atheist.

2) Morality hits hardest at the level of conscience. I believer murder to be wrong because there is a part of me that is uncomfortable with the idea of humans murdering each other. In many pragmatic philosophies, this needs no further justification.

POSITIVE ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF MY POSITION:

Secondly there are atheistic explanations of morality and human solidarity. I think the golden rule (and moral intuitions that capture the normative/motivational elements in Kantian and Rawlsian philosophy) is an intuitively useful guideline for constraining human behaviour in a civil society where mutually beneficial relationships take place. Stealing is wrong because, by stealing, you make a rule for yourself that you can't wish to be universally applicable to all other humans. This is the definition of unfairness - placing arbitrarily different values upon humans as rule-following agents. If there is no reason to treat humans differently, then treating them equally appears to be the default intuition, because that is something which every human can, jointly, do without causing conflict.

You don't need God as an authority to use normative terms in every day life.


There are some really insightful Christian thinkers out there, but you are not one of them.

Show me another species on this planet that lives in harmony with another. I think you'll find they defend their own, and that's it. Not only that, you've completely failed to tell me why rape is wrong. If the goal of evolution is to ensure survival of the species, then doesn't rape support that? In that mean, more chance of conception? And if you're gonna come back and talk about free-will and rights, then first you're going to have to prove that free-will even exists. The whole atheistic approach is that morals are subjective, and that just doesn't sit right with me.

And when you talk about knowing right or wrong without God, that's true to a certain extent. God created the moral conscious that you have, yet no one has ever been able to abide by it. So really you condemn yourself.

You are trying to justify rape and other disgusting acts with some 'animals do it' rhetoric everybody has heard before. Unlike animals, we have the conscious ability to think right from wrong and talk. Unlike animals. We know what is right from wrong so we SHOULDN'T DO IT. There is no justification in mauling a girl because a dog did it is there?

I thought we are animals?

You can't read can you?

I don't particularly think life has a point, but what does that matter?

I don't think you should worry if you have a purpose, but rather just enjoy your time here because the world is a beautiful place to be

This is what life is about:lrself running with them.”

It's not a beautiful place though is it? There is one particular forum on the internet that shares videos of torture and cruelty. I advise everyone to stay away. It is sick. And atheists say this is just an undesirable trait of evolution. What sick people!
