"The end of the whole matter let us hear: -- `Fear God, and keep His commands, for this [is] the whole of man.
(Ecclesiastes 12:13 - Young's Literal Translation)
(KJV says the "whole duty of man", but the word "duty" is not in the original text. Some versons say "this is man's all.)
Here is how the Contemporary English Version records this verse:
"Everything you were taught can be put into a few words: Respect and obey God! This is what life is all about."

The meaning of life:
-Work
-Pay taxes
-Don't break the law
-Don't inflict emotional and physical abuse towards yourself, animals, and other human beings.
-The rest is what you prefer to do with your spare time (e.g., be single, raise a family, travel, pursue a hobby, play a sport, sleep, read, write a book, study, or anything that doesn't get in the way of or violate the four items above).

All I know is I'm stuck in my life, so I'm gonna play it out and try to have a good time. You'll never have an experience like life again, will you?

your thoughts are small electric pulses traveling though brain cells.
your nervous system shuts down and your brain deteriorates after you die.
your body matter would decompose and become part of its surroundings.
you won't see heaven or hell. you'd be dead.
people should forgive themselves and go on living peaceful good lives without having to be threatened with eternal damnation.
no meaning.
