What do you think the point of LIFE is?

I like your style n9newunsixx5150, you put forth a good argument, unlike that dirth shoez bloke who all too often rests the strength of his argument on the word 'verily'.
You still don't convince me though.
I don't feel the need to concoct my own morals as I like our societies morals just the way they are. Contrary to what you probably think, I always endeavour to do good rather than bad based on these exact morals. I am simply stating that morals were not developed by the absolute nor do they form spontaneously out of knowing the absolute - they are a construct of societies collective conscience, one of your self-termed 'cathedrals in your own image' that extends further than the mere individual.
Your denial of the observation that humans consist of a mass of volatile chemicals combined with the clear separation of sensual experience and consciousness shows that you believe that we each have a soul, or spirit. Furthermore, it suggests that you believe in our continued existence following our Earthy death, be it reincarnation or some other form of consciousness. Through my failure to comprehend your goal, I cannot know anything of purpose - which means you think we have a purpose. Well, you may be putting forth a religious argument in sheeps clothing, but atleast you're not resorting to phrases taken verbatim from scripture or other illogical leaps of faith.
I understand what you are saying n9newunsixx5150 regarding the absolute. It reminds me of the thoughs of a philosopher (can't remember his name). He believed that God must logically exist because we humans have the ability to 'think' of the perfect being. The fact that each of us can sit there and imagine a being so powerful, so infallable and perfect in every way possible led him to believe that without the existence of such a being, we wouldn't be able to form such thoughts.
This absolute of yours may possess the potential to attain intelligence, but IMO that potential has only been realised in the human mind prior to which it did not exist. And yes, that does not make us better than this absolute because we are part of it. That would be like saying that I am better than the human race which would be a contradiction in terms because I am myself a part of the human race.

Purpose of life? to have fun. make money?
uh!!!
what it if we were cave men people. just siting around all day looking for food. no jobs,no video games,no *hot bitches*... the purpose would be finding food, eat sleep and shitting so. So in other words. Having fun would not be a purpose. I guess theres no purpose at all.

i got the school thing,but is that gonna cure everything and im just gonna be on cloud nine all day....i like yur ideas,im starting to think about going to church...the people that go to church never seem to get down they are always happy and thats what i want....can i still do the church thing and still kick it wit the folks???
Homie, understand this, you will ALWAYS have your ups and downs in life. The thing to always remember is its how YOU react to the situation. School is NOT going to make everything peaches and cream. Church is REALLY not going to make everything peaches and cream (just ask anyone who was swindled by a preacher or molested by a priest.) If you go to church, go for teh right reason. The right reason being you want to draw closer to God, you want to help others, or you have issues in your life that you need help with.
As to if you can still kick it with your friends or not, that would depend on what the church is teaching you. Personally, I don't go to church, but I was raised in the church, and although I have a different spiritual belief than what I was raised as, I still kick it with my friends IF and WHEN I have the time.

good lookin...i think i just gonna keep busy,keep the school thing goin..maybe atleast check out church a couple times...i guess if you keep so busy you wont have time to sit around and be depressed feelin sorry for yourself...fa sho i think i am startin to feel better already..what did you mean by react??i was gonna go get some drank,but i dont think that would help in the long run....just gotta tough it out i guess
By react, I mean how you handle the situation. You ALWAYS have several ways you can solve a problem. The way you solve it is going to determine what happens in the grand scheme of things. I drink occassionaly, and in fact, I'm gonna have a shot of heem in a few minutes, but you shouldn't drink when you are down fam. Why? because the problem will still be present when the effects of liquor have worn off. You wanna cheer yourself up? Go and feed a homeless person, or help a kid who doesn't have much. These people have it WORSE than you, and at any second that could be you in their position. Help them out and put a smile on their face, bro. When you do, you'll realize how blessed you are and you'll start looking at things in a new perspective.
No, the last comment wasn't hurting me. The only reason why I didn't reply is because I wanted you and 916 to continue your debate. It was actually a courtesy to him and not you. When I got tired of reading the babble I had to intervene, and you clowning a person that isn't even here (even though I loath the guy) is uncalled for.
So, in a sense, you can say it does feel good, but ya wanna know whats even better? The fact that your screen name is Hutch, and the fact that out here in cali Hutch is another word for BITCH. How fitting....:dead:

yous a Hutch. lol - it's got a certain ring to it. Maybe it was because of me? Well, a bitch might sleep in a hutch but they're not the same.
I love how you've resorted to petty name calling. You must be giggling to yourself like a schoolgirl having come up with such a punchy little phrase. Don't get me wrong, I actually like you heresy - sure, we disagree more than we agree but that's just a by product of the two of us having strong beliefs. It's sort of refreshing... oh no, was that a faggoty cop out? Damn, I've done it again!

Sarcasm and downplay won't help you this time around.
I love how you talk about people who are not here to defend themselves. At least I am calling you names and talking bad to you where YOU can see it AND reply to it.
Actually, no. I'm just here sipping on a cold glass on 7-up as I read your pathetic reply, Hutch.
Yeah, I agree with teh above 100%. The feelings are mutual.
Nah, that wasn't a faggoty cop out because we actually agree on it.
