What is the meaning of life?

[C0FFINCASE]

Well what do you think?
Three most common answers are:
1. pleasure
2. knowledge
3. virtue
4. none

Reproduction
Not dying

I think its survival. Survival entails pleasure, knowledge, and virtue. The pursuit of a single one of these leaves the person unhappy and lacking something. Celebrities turn to drugs and crime despite the constant pleasure, we've all met the miserable professor that hates every thing and only cares about knowing things, and if you pursue virtue for for virtue then you never have any pleasure or pain. The reason these are cited individually is because parts of something are often mistaken for the whole in terms of logical reasoning.
I'm with the Greeks everything in moderation. You live to live and one day die. During that time you should experience the gambit of things you can as long as you don't interfere with anyone else doing the same. This of course often entail the continuation of our species. I believe virtue is necessary because its the only thing that separates from beasts. Unfortunately the practice of virtue is in decline.

I disagree with religion saying God is the reason for life. If God is the reason for life ,what is God's? Another God? Is there to be some chain of never ending God's? An if God's reason for life is internal then there is no reason your can't be.

Truthfully, I dont know. No one really knows what the meaning of life is. I mean it can mean something different to every person you ask. Some may say something in a religious stand point, and others may just say it happened because of Science. We are just here because evolution occured

I dont think anyone can say the true meaning because no one knows.

There is no point. It's not something you can try to "analyze" or figure out.
You just have to enjoy it.

You live a good life, to have a good death. Simple.

Don't take life to seriously, You'll never make it out alive.
(Write that down (: )

i don't believe in a rason, we're irrational, so should life be. There's no definate reason for anything, life is no different.

also; the meaning of life is 42.

Survival and to know what is your purpose for living

If you read the bible life was suppose to be eternal. when Adam and eve were placed in the garden. They disobeyed god when he said don't eat the forbidden fruit because Lucifer tempted them to eat it. which they did and god banished them. I forgot but also on one verse there was a guy who lived for 980 years. So basically those two screwed us over.

Ok, Genesis is not literal. There is like no christian religion left that thinks it is so I'm not sure what faith you're following. The Roman Catholic Church says its only there to illustrate the point that God created the world and human. Adam and Eve aren't really just symbolic of the human race. The snake was just temptation. The ages in the Bible are known not to be literal. They measured years differently back then(lunar calendar; its easy to see 980 moons) because they only lived to be about what we call 30ish today. If you made it to 40 you were ancient.

Not everyone is... uhh... hard to say this without being insulting. Not everyone doesn't take the Bible literally. >_>
For whatever reason. Faith, I'm sure.

Not all people but there are few "religions" left with the literal view, while there are still numerous cults that still say their interpretation is literal.
Main stream Christianity no longer holds a literal views any more though. I'm assuming he's main stream something.

The meaning of life is to find your own meaning...And to have fun and get on gaia

I think the meaning/creation of the universe is a much greater question, as life is but one insignificant step of a much larger process.
