Me, by nature, am very skeptical of somethings.. even god at times. I believe in God, but i always have questions, and i always figured why would you waste your time, and create humans?? And a world none the less. Maybe it's the same as how musicians create music, because they LOVE to. Is that a true answer though??

I also do not believe in the notion at "all things happen for a reason"..yeah, like 10 months year olds being killed.. woman being murdered.. cancer.. aids.. You get me..

This probably isn't what you're looking for, and I don't want to get into another evolutionary argument, so that part will stay out of it. Anyways, assuming evolution occurs, your question is moot. We live simply to carry on life process, just like every other life form on earth. There is no meaning to life, no higher purpose.

There is meaning to life and a higher power.


That higher power wants you to try on hats. Lots of them.

The meaning of life is the adventure it is, I do belive things do happen for a reason, 10 year old being killed ....... bad seed, woman murdered ...... she would have bore a child who would have one day killed millions, aids ....... trying to scare people into abstaning from sex to control population growth ....... any number of possibilites .... maybe we are a science experiment ..... or like you said, he just likes doing this ..... why do you work on cars?

Those who have ever looked into the beliefs of native people, or tribesmen. Would know of an ancient myth of millions of serpent like creatures falling from the sky. They came here because they were fleeing from an enemy. Those who describe what the serpent creature looks like, the closest thing to compare it to is a twisted ladder... or a strand of DNA.

The serpent was cast out of heaven.

DNA creates life.

you also know the ugliness that lives inside of humanity. Maybe we're just angels cleansing out the bad. Doing a job...

or maybe we are the serpent, and this is our punishment for messing with god.

just a random thought

why do people have aquariums?

funny but you actually feed those fish everyday.

why do people have cats?



subconciously (or however you spell that) you hypocritically ask these questions.


"fear me and keep my commandments, this is your all"

to your dog "do what i say, and be a good dog"

re: youngvr4


Yeah but fish naturally are free creatures, we made them into pets. The same with cats.

god has never asked me to pull tricks for him. Only other humans have told me "his" word, thus trying to cage me.

it was a concpet, of course its not to the exact of gods reason
just the same sorta concept.


maybe only some people can understand him or hear or recognize his voice when they hear it. maybe this maybe that. could be any reason.

one of my fish kept attacking the othe fish, so i flushed it down the toillette. and that fish has no clue as to why he was flushed down.

and we as humans compared to god are only fish.............well maybe dogs. since we can understand some things, but not all, not by a long shot.

Why did God put us here? If you had the power to create a world full of intelligent, thinking, human beings with feelings and emotions - wouldn't you create such a world and then fuck with your creations like some sadistic SOB? That's what I would do, too. God bless.

[dirtydx]

so god is directly to blame for your problems then?

[djnoname]

Look people. Lets get real. While everyone sits around and argues the meaning of life we are destroying the planet. Technology is to blame for aids, cancer, and many of the other problems we now have in the world, while everyone searches for a nice "everything must happen for a reason" answer to justify the continued destruction of our Earth. And money is still in control of everyones life. Gotta love it.

Or the next copuot, christianity. If you beleive in Chritianity then lets talk history. Chirstianity is responsible for more deaths and cultural genocide then anyother religion in history. If you beleive in the Christian religion your just beleiving in old Sumerian beleifs anyways (epic of gilgamesh-noahs ark, Dilmun-garden of Eden, 7 day creation, idea of "sin") need I say more? The Old testament as we know it, as well as tribal nomaic life of the Hebrew tribes trying to live tribally among two advanced civilazations (Egypt and Sumeria) is historically proven to be influenced heavily by both said civilazations.
New Testament well we have Constantine the great and the council of Nicea to thank for the nice made up stories about stolen ideas from the Hebrew religion made up by people sitting around Rome some 400 years later (who never lived a day of traditional Hebrew nomadic tribal ways ever in their life )and basing all the stories of some four different people (one carpenter, one Greek and two other religion leaders from same era who supposedy died then came back again for mankind) as well as Egyptian, Sumerian and Babylonian beliefs all for a simple political move to make Rome more powerful. The end result was something the people were so forcefed that its impossible to tell what really happened but hey if the Hebrews themselves say that Jesus was not the Messiah (he was one of their own and it was their religion they would know the details) then mabye we should have taken their word for it ya know. This religion then snowballs and takes over the world. Go to the Vatican and see the vote tallies form the council of Nicea yourself. If Christians are going to reject buddist & everyone elses opinions then at least let me remind you to really know your history. I am not a christian and never will be but I feel that rehashing the Christian vs. everyone else debate will not work cuz the Christians never seem listen (although I bet the scientists of the manhatten project who invented the atomic bomb had a bible on their bedside table and considered themselves good christians) and all thats left is everyone really missing some of todays more pressing issues. And besides if christianity was really the be all end all answer the world really needs don't you think it would have worked by now? I feel it's time a few christians became a little more open minded to what people of other forms of spirituality have to say, so here's my two cents:

No one can really answer why "God" put us here but people all over the world have different ideas about god or why we may be here and it's never going to match up to one universal form of spirituality because ideas about spirituality are heavily based on regional daily life as well as phenomena experienced by different groups of people on this planet at different times. You know different strokes, different folks, and everyone has a good opionion about something if people will just listen.

People of all religions and races have a common enemy and that is impending planetary desturction, global warming, weapons all countries have developed that could kill off all human life, the breakdown of familial structures worldwide, aids, pollution, cancer, homeless children, and greed. Mankind is getting too big for his britches and it is getting potentially hazourdous not just to humans but ALL life on this planet. We all like to act like the world is put here for our individual benefit and most of us fail to realize we have to share the earth with animals and plants etc..., as well as each other.

I personally think there is nothing that compares to the human spirit and we can change ourselves and our environment from this downhill slope of environmental, and cultural destructions we just have to remember we are all related and we need to quit arguing over religon for one thing and get back to basic human nature of trying to help one another and survival. Maybe we can turn things around for our planet and leave the word better then it was left for us.
