...So smoke it, toke it, and never ask why!


Yeah sorry.

I would define life as... a course of events [working toward an end?]. So basically what heyjme1 said, but much less eloquent.

listen....i think that is scripted...because...to me (if you believe in god) god already knows our next move...so in all actuality, unless i miss the big picture of it all, we hav no true free will....there is no random to god cause it is known before it is done...so life is what is on gods blueprint...it is a plan...lik a box that we cant get out of but only think about it...<< no real out of the box thinkin...only those who see life as it is...and those who are blind...with no realization who no productive thinkin only dissolve themselves in the materialistic things that control earth....but in the same thought...we are all equal in the end...

why should God know the future?or rather how, as the future doesn't exist.

God created all there is ...and all there is to be...his power is beyond any human comprehension...cause the HUGE difference between us and God is....we hav brains and limits.....God created the brain he created life period....gravity, thoughts, pain, all emotion....he did it all....he can do w/e the f*** he wants.....being that we are humans and we hav limits....we lack the capibility to understand all of Gods powers....mostly b/c almost all of them are impossible for us to do....we are jus mere humans...to say that God couldnt do sumthin is a joke...b/c what can we do lol.....

Call me crazy, but I think the concept of a "creator" is silly. I don't mean to hijack the topic but I'd just like to briefly state my current view on this.

I think everything is just a loop; no creation, but no lack of creation either. Everything exists simultaneously, and every moment is eternity. It just "is." How that's possible is beyond the mind (as we know it, at least)'s ability to grasp, but like I said, it just "is."

But there's a 90% chance I'm full of it.

I don't think there is a definition that will explain life completely.
There is just to much.

Actually that is not true. If God knows what you are going to choose to do tomorrow, that does not mean he programmed you to do it does it? It is like watching a movie twice. You know what is going to happen at the end the second time but you didnt cause it to end that way did you.

Also you misunderstand a vital piece of God's nature. God does not exist in a space time continuum. He dwells outside of time. There is no future or past with God. AoD this should shed some light on your statement.

"what is the meaning of life?"


Maybe you're just asking the wrong question? Which is continuing yourself in the wrong direction for truth...

listen...that shed no light to any thing...you are looking at things through a very fundamental POV....your thinkin to small about the situation by even comparing life to a movie....we dont hav the kind of knowledge to understand or interpert the way God handles his skills.....were jus humans......................how about....the meaning of life?........... is to figure out the meaning of life....

I can't stand people like you.
First of all: If god exist he would make sure your typing isn't so fucked
2nd: god doesn't exist
3: No1 can see the future or sthe past, because time is absolute.
4: god doesn't exist.
5: definition of life = when your body is able to breath, think etc. Life in a more abstract point of view is meaningless. Life has no purpose, but when we are happy we don't care about the purpose of life. This doesn't answer the question of crouse, maybe the purpose is trying to learn what the purpose is

lol. How about this:

You define your life...and that means having faith in yourself to be able to do it. It means setting the right aims in the first place and it means persevering until you get what you want.

And if you don't believe in God to get these answers; fear not, nature has set up some cunny laws so, if you ask and you really want it, its there....just choose well and remember, what you give is what you get in return. You may not believe me, but who am I?

Some ask why, some ask why not.
