He probably knew beforehand that some would be favoured to work in CBN, while others with the same qualification would roam the street. Birds don't labour before getting their meal, but that doesn't mean an adult bird will feed a very young bird that doesn't belong to it if it was fostered.

While making the brain, how is difficult for Him to put generous instinct and make selfish instinct unknown to man? The only meaningless thing I ever know is life.

You may be shocked to know that you actually chose the role you will come to play in the chess game called life . When you die, you have the opportunity to choose again or remain in the afterlife of peace forever. But mind you, the afterlife is so peaceful that you'll be asking for a reincarnation into the earth again(because of the excessive tranquility). I've been in the afterlife and I can bet you, all the stresses, pains and fears of the world is worth it compared to how that place is. I'm around because of my role on earth, or else I should be there by now, resting.

Otem, d bolded eludes me. [/br]

I don't remember me making a choice before coming to this earth, I didnt / wasn't even aware I was here until like 2to3yrs of my life here. albeit most of the memories I recall from that stage aren't so clear I sometimes wonder if it were all a dream.

How do we get to knw what we chose if at all we chose anything before entering this threshold?

DoctorAlien:
Life is meaningless indeed and not worth living when the Giver of life is taken out of the equation.

OP, why don't you pick up a copy of the Bible to find out what(beautiful) plans GOD has for you? Disparity, lack and suffering exist today because man neglects GOD's laws, which, if obeyed, would ensure peace and comfort. Good news is that these things won't always be. The saints are gonna live on the new earth, where hunger and lack won't exist.

hopefulLandlord:


life is meaningless even with a god; everyone has to make their own meaning

and there's a problem with theists saying since life without a god has no "eternal" meaning, then it has no meaning at all

I find a lot of intentional dishonesty in how they move from "no eternal meaning" to "no meaning"

otemanuduno:


You won't know. That's how it is done.

correctguy101:


Why is it so n why should that be the case?

correctguy101:
Note u mentioned u know y u re here. How did u come to know, since we were programmed at birth not to know?
Just part of the problems I have with anything religious.

corectguy101: Sounds wonderfully absurd for us not to remember when remembering should serve mankind well, after all we made d choice to come back as u said, so what takes all the stored memories from us and why?

DoctorAlien:


Your life has every reason to be meaningless, since you have never encountered the Creator of your life, neither have felt the meaning He gives to life

You don't generalize your own meaningless life.

This is the OP's heart yearning for something which no mortal can give. Can you claim he has not tried to give his life a meaning and everything still is meaningless to him?

I find a lot of confusion in how you twist my words from "no meaning" to "no eternal meaning".

Some of us saw what some didn't see. And from then we knew more secrets. Take science for example, some humans on earth didn't know till today how computer, airplane, TV, radio etc. could be figured out by humans. But those who knows how they knew will not be bothered and they will keep on knowing. Everything is a function of the brain; when the brain is used positively and inquisitive so much that it has no option anymore, it then begins to release some of the informations stored inside it.

We have 100% knowledge of whom we are at the other side, but here we have 0% knowledge. We are here for the fun of it. We will live for 100 to 150 years and then die to know whom we are. To me I think it's fun. And since the day I discovered it, I have ever been grateful to nature and life. I feel lucky that I am existing.

hopefulLandlord:
I've never understood the presumption that the existence of a god imparts meaning to human life. I believe that my parents "created" me, but I do not extend to them any authority to assign me a purpose or dictate my destiny. I think it's true of many people that, if some powerful dictator were to claim control over a person's life and attempt to direct their goals and aspirations, going so far as to say that fulfilling these dictates was the person's only purpose in existence, that person would dedicate their life to the task of destroying that dictator. Why is it so different when the dictator is god, that such control is not only accepted, but believed to be necessary for a fulfilling and meaningful life?

DoctorAlien:


Well, GOD has no "ready-made" plan for anybody. Our fate is a function of the choice we make: whether to serve the Creator, or to disobey Him.

People willingly accept GOD's rule because He is wise, and because they know the meaning He gives to life.

hopefulLandlord:


you guys are funny, what meaning does your god give to life that can't be given to it independent of your god?

DoctorAlien:


You can't understand it. You can't feel it.

Until you submit to your Creator.
