What is life's deepest meaning? (Atheists and Christians)?

Question

I don't feel that 3.0 or even 2.1 would be completely truthful, as I have not yet evolved to that point.

Thus, 2.0.1 seems to fit best for now.

Answer 1

Life's deepest meaning is the color of eggplants and concord grapes -- deep, rich, life-giving purple.

Purple is the deepest meaning, the most splendid feeling, the most incredible experience. Need proof?

Just think about how purple makes you feel - how it washes away every bad thought or feeling.

Purple is for everyone, the perfect trinity of red and blue on white. Purple is the existential opposite of orange, and when these two colors are placed side-by-side, then a decadent but delicious moment occurs, you can be sure.

Both Atheists and Christians and Atheistic Christians celebrate the color purple. Purple is their highest joy, purple is their darkest secret.

Purple is true and if you love purple, it will always love you. Don't be afraid, just go ahead: Love Purple.

Answer 2

You are actually asking two different questions:

1. What is the purpose of life?
2. What is the meaning of life?

By way of example -- if I hold up an empty water balloon and ask you what it's purpose is, the most basic answer is 'water transportation via aerial mode.' That's all the purpose is -- it is a reason for existing. If it is sitting on a shelf in a store, it has that purpose, if it's in my hand filled and ready to go, it has that purpose.

Meaning, however, is something that is ascribed to an object. I fill such a balloon with water so that I can tag my mother during the next family reunion summer-fun party. That is now its meaning -- joy and playfulness. It did not have that meaning on the store shelf. There, at the store, its meaning was profit -- the owner of the store hoped someone would buy it and thus the owner would make profit off it.

So to go back to your questions -- what is the purpose of life? It has none. To have a purpose means that an intelligent being must have created it. Purpose is an intended direction, a best-suited direction, and life has no creator nor an intended direction. Life is inherantly purposeless.

What is the meaning of life? Because we are self-aware, even in acknowledging the purposelessness of life, we can ascribe a meaning to it. For many people, this meaning is little more than that they hope to live day by day. Some people make religion their meaning, others knowledge, others intentionally make hate or cruelty their meaning -- no one said all meaning has to be good. It just gives us a reason to wake up in the morning and defy our purposelessness.

Answer 3

Love

Answer 4

happiness and fulfillment. I think that life is empty, and we are what makes it full. As long as you live a moral life and follow your dreams, life will be complete for you!

Answer 5

I prophecied you would return as 3.0 or 2.1

I was close, does that count as prophecy?


Wait... are you a false prophet ???

Answer 6

To have fun and live it to its fullest, because in my opinion you only get one!
Don't forget 42.

Answer 7

Life in and of itself does not have meaning. We give it meaning through our actions and beliefs.

Answer 8

To love the Lord our God, with all our heart, mind, soul and strength; and our neighbor as ourselves.

Answer 9

You always have to read me yap about this, you really want me to rewrite? Altruism and wisdom, not necessarily in that order... LOL.

Answer 10

Hello? Who are you? Life's deepest meaning is being oneself, not trying to be another, at least in your case.
