No Christian can help us here answer this question. That's kinda funny.

Next time on another thread now, they will be yapping about the purpose and meaning of life.

E don set now, they are no show

johhny it's such an honor to be finally able to meet the great physicist.. I love you Johnny.....well I don't believe in a heaven or hell..... we all are here with a mission........am still an o level student but have been reading quantum physics...according to qp everything is energy(including humans), and energy cannot be created nor destroyed(do you get where am driving to?)....its an honor to be able to quote you

Evangkatsoulis:


Great physicist? Wtf!

hahn:


Na their way. Makes me remember my thread where I gave them a chance to prove their god is real and they all ran away.

Religion is really about convenience

johnydon22:


Let me be waiting shaa

johnydon22:
I give up on you

Anas09:

Hmmmm. Jon, Jon, Jon. how many times did i call you?

johnydon22:


Are you answering the question or not?

Anas09:

Your question is stupid. As far as you are concern, there's no God. Case closed. Move on with your life.

Anas09:

O'Level as in Secondary school?

What the hell am i doing in Nairaland?

Deactivating ASAP.

johnydon22:
hahaha I agreed with you there is a God. Let's base our argument on those fundamental assumptions.

- There is a God
-There is an afterlife.

Now, take it from there.

Anas09:

I do not assume that there's God. I know for a fact that there's God, and until you and i stand on that premise, we can't have this conversation.

It's either there's God who did what you are implying or there's no God.

Remember, i no dey beg you to believe say God dey.

johnydon22:
One of the questions that theists easily throw at people who show skepticism or disbelief in Gods or afterlife is "What is the meaning of life? what is the purpose of life if we do not have an afterlife?"

Somehow i find this question to be shallow because one must first make a logical leap of assuming that "meaning and purpose" are inherent universal qualities before basing such question on that premise.

The argument can be summarized this way;

Life is limited
there is suffering in life
life ends eventually, therefore, what is the meaning and purpose of it all?

We could explore this question on this thread too. But however, i am returning the favor to theists who ask this question.

I will assume there is a heaven, i will assume for this premise there is an afterlife, we need not argue over that for this thread.

What exactly is the meaning of an eternal life in heaven? Demonstrate its meaningfulness and how it is derived?

What is the purpose of a life without end? Demonstrate this purpose and how it is derived?

SarcasticMe:


Life does have it's purpose. We Christians are just apprehensive of the fact that this life is just a journey unto an eternal one. And on this journey, we're expected to do as much good as we can - live with the fear of God and help others.

When we leave this world, we're promised an everlasting life of fulfilment - such that is beyond the confines of our human understanding, because we obviously won't be wearing this body anymore.

The closest human feeling I can compare it to is "perfect peace."

Now, the chaos and sin of this world may make the notion foreign to you. And the fact that you keep denying such place of perfect peace exists, shows how immersed you are into all the chaos in this world - the love of the world.

PS: next time you want to base your thread on an unassuming assumption, you must be careful not to cross the boundary of the said assumption. Your discourse contains ostentatious statements, which would normally drive people off the question. The assumptions within your question is definitely not based on curiosity, but, rather on the need for you to see where the 'shallowness' (in context of your words) leads - so you can make more ostentatious statements.

johnydon22:
ok
awfully convenient

Example of such thing.

What are we talking about again?

Should i still wait for an answer or is this it?

SarcasticMe:


I obviously can't satisfy your malicious and shady probing... My answers to you are indirectly directed at those Christians you're aiming to lure away from the light.
If your mind can't conceive a perfect world, how would I convince you of its meaning? Work on your mind, and stop spiting what you don't understand.

Hermes019:

So why are christaians afraid to die,if you offer 100 Nigerians who are living on meagre income a free visa to travel the U.K along with a permanent resident permit and a 1 million pound check, do you think any of them would hesitate
Now let's switch it to u guys,ur heaven is a perfect place and of course earth is a place of suffering and turmoil but no christian wants to die and go to heaven,you all want to continue to suffer with us on earth,u can imagine some of u praying to live for 100 years on earth with all the problems and difficulties u have especially in this part of the world instead of praying to die and Go to heaven and enjoy

U think say we be MUGU ?
