    Your mindset is what is defined as nihilism... I completely disagree with you, on that note. "Proving you wrong" is something rather arduous, if not impossible, due to aforementioned subjectivity, so I do not quite understand what discussion you are attempting to begin here other than sharing of viewpoints.

    Life, at least to me, is a test for us. God wants to see what actions we follow through with on earth, and the choice is presented to us to either accept him or not... this is needed in order to determine our eternal resting place.



    In the first place, the point of life doesn't involve religion. Aside of the fact that several people amongst us are actually still atheists.

    Secondly, seeing as you're not quite agreeing with the fact that everything will be utterly meaningless if all progress will be gone, I'll have to counter-attack with the "If the universe wasn't, the fact that it can behave in such a way that it appears to do so is rather absurd, in the same way as saying a non-moving object can achieve motion without being acted upon by a force" argument.

    So you are saying life is worthless? Go kill yourself now if that is what you think. You're life is worthless as you say.

    One's life is not worthless, even if we die out. At least we did something to help the future, by protecting this "end of the world" thing as you say.

    If we never existed, life would have died out awhile ago. :/



    I do realize, however, that humanity merely demands us to work for society and contribute ourselves to it as well. But...

    Essentially, the Charles Darwin theory is actually appropriate for this.

    If we die now, or either after 1.000.000 years, what is the actual difference? All progress throughout the years have been entirely lost, leaving the precise point of life meaningless.

    And you're forcing me to use the counter argument that life evolved to suit the universe, not vice-versa.

    Essentially, the odds of the universe, starting with the celestial bodies, going down to the makeup of our Earth, the path of evolution, and the development of the human species occurring exactly as it has based on the scientific idea that most of these things were the result of complete chance is so slim that it would seem mounds more likely that there is a God and therefore a purpose to everything.

    I would highly doubt whether this is actually incorrect, in fact, this rather strikes me as odd. As there remains no specific and yet real reason for humanity exist any further, we might as well end it all here.

    "Life is meaningless." Consider that as a subjective statement. After all, after billions of years, the earth will be destroyed eventually. Leaving completely nothing. All progress will be gone, all that progress whom we made throughout thousands of years.

    Feel free to prove me wrong, incedentally.

    I'll make a small introduction as well, along with the rest.

    My real name's Timothy, I enjoy joining gaming sites randomly. Personally, I play over 10 game series, including Zelda, Mario and Final Fantasy. I fancy people with a huge amount of knowledge. I'm interested in people who would love to discuss, and not argue.

    That's about it.

    I'm definitely going to be less active for the upcoming week. I'll handle the voting threads still by tonight, though.

    The actual reason why I'm actually going to be less active is generally because of my upcoming exams, they are of great importance. They determine 1/3 part of my final results in June, so I'd assume you would absolutely be able to comprend this matter utterly.

    And if I were to receive any back-up, or support, then I would wholeheartedly appreciate it.

    See you soon.

    I lost a good friend a year ago (Not a real-life friend) but through the internet, I knew him for years and we played every day; games, and talked heaps but near the end he kept getting sick and then was told he was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, only a week after i never herd from him again and neither did any of his friends...

    Sometimes I still think about it but it's long past now and I have mostly gotten over it.

    In other news, I PURCHASED MY DREAM THEATER LIVE TICKET, I AM GOING TO SEE THEM!!!!! YAY!!! (me is excited). xD



    Aside of the non-musical part, Dream Theater is by far one of the greatest bands out there, next to Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden.

    Incedentally, I currently have a girlfriend, even though I've wished to break up initially.
