I really don't know. Jews one thing in life is to go to the holy land (not that there've been enough people that've unholied it :P )
But I think from my point of view don't waste life...

The goal of life... I think It's to live as best as you can, and putting others first. My reglious goal in life is to love GOD at my fullest, and to love him for him and not for what he does for me.

Meh, in my opinion life really doesn't have a point.

I completely agree with you. Nobody can tell you what the meaning is, you either have to find it or just live life normally pretending there isn't a meaning and that you'll juss rot in the ground after you die. To me, life doesn't have a "meaning", or "point to it". But I do have a life plan, which is basically enjoying what I do, being happy. If you do your best to accomplish your goals, and fulfill your wishes and desires, then you will almost certainly die happily, which may or may not be the "meaning" of life to some.

All that said - if you're satisfied to be "happy" in your life then thats your point. But that isnt really a point. It isnt really a meaning. It's a state of being. The meaning of life is not "being happy" - that's just the easiest way to go about living. The meaning of your life, you wont know until you die.
That's what i think anyways o.o

Of course atheists don't count as to what I was saying. If you have a religion, you could say that the meaning of life was whatever your religion instructs you to do. Otherwise you're on your own, I thought it was so obvious I didn't have to say it.
Life has no general point because, indeed, life is different for everyone. The question in itself is stupid to ponder over. In fact, the question should be re-worded to "What is your goal in life?". If you think about it, they're very similar questions.
So in my opinion, the real question is "what is your goal in life?".

Athiest meaning of life, I don't know. We need to hear it from one of them.

what about atheists? as far as I know, "atheist" is not a religion, just a way to nominate those who don't believe in any god or practice any religion. That said, do you believe that atheists wouldn't be able to find a meaning to life because they don't believe in any deity?

Athiesm isn't a religion, per say, yet it is. Athiesm does NOT mean No religion, it means no God. Most Buddists(the ones who do not beleive in a supreme diety) are athiests.
ATHeism - NO god
MONOtheism - ONE God
POLYthiems - Many gods.

I know everything? *rejoice* :P
I do have one question though, once you complete your goal, if it's not a life-to-death goal, would you make a new one? Or build on the goal you have completed?

Well I'm not actually entirely sure what you mean there. But from what I gather I pretty much just keep making new goals so that I have a will to go on with my life. I'll even make it a goal to buy a new videogame when it gets released. Like NWN 2, I'm waiting on it to come out, I have a reason to go on so I can play it. :P You can think it's sad, I don't care.

If your don't practice any religion I assume the meaning of life is just to live a good life. If you practice a religion it means to live a good life through your GOD. What you believe your GOD told you to do.

Of course Atheists are included... I don't actually know if I am really a christian. Yeah I believe there is one God and if I do something very wrong if I say sorry to God he will pardon me and lots of other crap but I really don't know if I'm a proper christian. (Actually according to my mum I'm from the Baptist faith but whatever...) It's kinda like a boy at my school he says he's a Johovas Witness but he celebrates Christmas and Easter and we're all like 'then your not a Johovas Witness... Which brings me onto another point what would a Johovas Witness point in life being? Wait a minute when I go back to school I'll ask him... But until then ponder on it...

:P hahaha, screw you! good one tho, props to you. Now, about what maddy was talking about...being, for example, a "good christian"...something i've noticed here a lot is that people proclaim being outstanding christians just because they go to church...but that's all they do.They take up space and breathe air in the church, and they're "good christians"? wow...PLEASE notice i'm not talking about any of you, it's just something i see a lot (in school, the 'hood, etc)

I hardly ever go to church,and i consider myself a good Christian.
Serving others, yes, the focal point of my faith. Serving others is what I think is one of the main goals of my life.
