Ok, the old ultimate question: Does God exist and is our life pointless/garbage or not?

[thsnakegod]

Are we just meat? Are we just sentient cancer? Are we just hysterical organisms/dumb animals? Is there right, wrong, fate, destiny? Do soulmates exist?

Or were we made in the image of God?

[NamerOfStars]

Those are two different questions. Does God exist? Yeah, probably. Whether it's handheld or otherwise, if you take a look the computer you're using to access this site, you'll see it's full of extremely complicated parts, each for a specific function. If you were to behold such a machine, Occam's razor says it's far more likely that it was created that way by an effort of an intelligent force; that's a far simpler explanation than the extreme series of coincidences needed for it arise out of sheer chance. Is the latter possible? Of course- just less likely.

But some higher power just existing doesn't tell us anything about its goals or desires; the god that exists may be nothing like the most common depictions or interpretations most of us have. Do I believe that? No- but that's a matter of faith, not knowledge.

This leads directly into your second question. Just because there IS a god (if there is), that doesn't mean our lives aren't pointless; the purpose of our existence could still be one we'd find profoundly unsatisfying. If you meet your maker and learn that the reason for humanity is to be an abundant source of quick-and-easy dinosaur food, you're probably not going to be happy about that.

Fortunately, there's an easy workaround: make your own point. If the heavens are dark above us, then WE are the highest authority around, so it's up to us to set our purpose, and your life is only pointless if you let it be.

Beyond that: are we just meat? No. Nor are we "sentient cancer" or dumb animals. There ARE right and wrong, but no fate or destiny but what we make.

Well here's my opinion on this , listen I'm not here to convert people to my Faith but only share what Jehovah God means to me. I truly believe that God exists & we have purpose in life - if we had no purpose in Life Then there should be no point or reason in God creating us. I believe in My opinion our purpose in life is to love God & love people. Well I mean truly God wouldn't make us for no reason so surely you have a purpose in being on earth

jehovah is just the western translated name that later got further simplefied to "jesus" for western tongues. originally they called him jod heh shin wa heh, which translates to: earth wind fire water soul xD just saying in case you didn't know. that's what the name means. it's not a subjecitve thing.

[genericname85]

no god doesn't exist. i take the law approach. innocent until proven guilty. god is not guilty of existing until proven otherwise. and yes my life is completely pointless but not garbage xD i can still enjoy it. in fact most things people enjoy are pretty damn pointless. so who cares if it's pointless, if it's fun?

[thsnakegod]

Let's talk about sex.

Women are wired to not always want sex. And if a man forces her, it's "rape".

Men on the other hand are wired to always "need" to ejaculate.

The situation is not so fun, now, is it?

[genericname85]

that's just how procreation works. what's the big deal with getting consent? genereally in order to have fun, you also gotta do some things that aren't all that fun. that's how you know what fun is to begin with. without shit that sucks, fun couldn't exist.

[thsnakegod]

I don't know.
Ugly men don't have sex, and ugly women often don't either.

Not so fun for them, right?

[genericname85]

is sex the only way you can experience "fun"?

[thsnakegod]

No, but it is a major part, right?

[genericname85]

you can still have sex. would be less fun if it was super easy and you could just have it all the time.

and yeah life is unfair. deal with it xD that doesn't mean it's "not fun" overall.

[thsnakegod]

not talking about me, just in general.

[genericname85]

well it's you who implies that "life overall is not fun" if you can't have sex any second you want xD i don't think people in general think like that.

[Berethor]

Where the last time that you saw an Angel, do you believe only in God or in God's God too?

Those are two different questions.

... And then there are six different questions in the body of your question.

[Guy13]

Why do you think there is no Creator, God given you and world are here?

[Akam93]

Not everyone thinks like you.

[thsnakegod]

@Akam93 so you believe that life is just blood and sentient cancer?

[Akam93]

Hell no. I do agree with the guy ☝️

[jshm2]

You're too small to be asking such questions, kiddo.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Can't you tell? Use the brain He gave you.
