Meaning of life???

[sweetlad86]

I still don't know what this has to do with The Meaning of Life??

[sox-and-the-city]

Hunni with all due respect and not wanting to sound like a total bitch, starting a thread about the meaning of life and expecting it not to turn to religion is a bit like giving a 15 year old porn and expecring them not to masturbate over it.

Religion explains the meaning of life for those who follow it. It gives guidance in times of difficulty and explains our lives really do have a purpose, even if we can't always see what that is...

Hugs hon.

[sweetlad86]

I don't agree with that dude..

As I don't see the difference between them.

The Meaning of life hasn't got any thing to do with religion.

It all depends on what religion or subsection of that religion you are talking about. But overall it's all up to you not what other fucking people preach at you.

I've always wondered what we are here for and what we are meant to do with the time we have.....

Any ideas ppl??

42 lmao!

What I thought I asked in this thread was what is your opinion on the meaning of life.

But what I didn't asked was are homosexual people wrong in Gods eye's!

NO! So Please keep to the topic!

[COLOR="Purple"]Ya know that I care very much for ya both and can see what sweets is on about (more on that later) but I also try to see how sox lives his life thru Christ.

and since you bring it up... how do Christian Homos interpret Leviticus 18:22? I dont think that has been brought up here yet actually sweets... I am on another gay forum and oddly enough the same discussion is being going on and there are some very interesting interpretations of Leviticus 18:22...

btw, I got kicked off a site (for three days) trying to stick up for my beliefs against a bunch of Christian witches, LOL...[/COLOR]

[sweetlad86]

I never said that I wasn't a Christian my self though.

What I believe is all religions are the same..

[Marlborolad]

I don't agree at all Sweetlad. All religions are not the same, however, they are competing for exclusivity.

Granted, they are essentially all "God" centred belief systems and united in that sense. It is from here they divert from one another.

Even a very basic examination of comparative belief systems reveal that different religions make very different truth claims on a number of issues. And they do so in a definitive manner.

Each religion is clearly different in very fundamental ways, and as elementary as whether Is it Monotheistic or Monistic? (personal or Impersonal relationship with God).

If religions were all the same, I wonder why so many conflicts throughout the history of the world can be attributed to them. Surely, this would put an end to most disagreements. If you're correct I feel the Israelis and Palestinians should be informed immediately.

Its got nothing to do with region people just say its all to do with religion..

Just look at the Middle East its always be to do with wealth, mankind is greedy and if you make a war a holy war it makes it cheaper as you don't need to buy people to fight that war.

At the moment its to do with the oil out there back in the crusades it was the trade coming from the Far East.

And if you are talking about Israel you more likely haven't look into the history of Israel your find that its an illegal country which shouldn't be there, it was born out of terrorism in 1947 when Jewish terrorists blow up British citizens. The UN back in 1947 wanted to make Jerusalem a International city run by the UN but some stupid people decide to do a coo and fuck the idea right up.

If I was a Palestinians I would be happy to blow my self up in the cause of freedom for Palestine.

I really hate the word Israel, its not a country as it broke international law back in 1947.

[Marlborolad]

That's a pretty modernistic - and I must say simplistic - interpretation of the Israel conflict Sweetlad - it's origins are far more intricate than the events of 1947.

Living on the Israeli border and working alongside both Israelis and Palestinians (many of whom i call close friends) I would find it impossible to come to a conclusion like yours so easily. I guess it's somewhat different when it's occuring in your daily life as opposed to on the television.

I do agree with you to a certain extent regarding wars being about wealth and not religion - but I must point out that this is surely on a political level. The average person doesn't go to war imagining how it will profit them. They go - whether manipulated by government or not - to secure their freedom and way of life, which includes religion.

Great subject matter to discuss though!!!

mmmm I like the sound of modernistic lol!

I agree Marlborolad it is a great subject matter to discuss.

Well the modern part of the Israel conflict comes from the WW1 when the Allis caved the Middle East up for them selfs.
Palestine was promise to the Muslims as well as the Jews but as we all the Allis never carried out their word.

I really want to visit Palestine in the future, I love Middle Eastern culture and people.

I agree Marlborolad it is a great subject matter to discuss.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE MEANING OF LIFE
