I joined the site a few minutes ago. The conversation is a little bizarre. I like the title on this Category. When I saw it, I was hoping it would be about scat and pee. Now you know how kinky and pervy I am. However, it seems to be otherwise. I'm not criticizing, mind you. I just have a LOT to learn. :)

I don't think there IS an external meaning to life. YOU make your own meaning. YOU decide what is important. That is not a cop-out. Read on. I'll admit I'm biased in a particular direction. That direction is science. In terms of religion: at best I'm agnostic and at worst I'm atheistic. I soak up and love the books for non-scientists by Stephen Hawking, Lawrence Krauss & others. The two mentioned, give excellent arguments for how "all that is" (the Universe) could easily have come about in the absence of any supernatural god. No god, no external meaning given to existence. I'm fine with that. In fact, I MUCH prefer it. I don't wish to be an eternal "child" of "the father." If we haven't already, it's time to "grow up" realize our situation, and work on dealing with it. Dealing with it means making the best of it, learning to live together, taking care of our planet, making plans for eventually leaving our planet and our solar system (because our Sun will become a red giant, and fry the Earth) and colonizing the nether regions of space. Far fetched? Yes. What are the alternatives? (Just as an addition, Lawrence Krauss shows how the Universe could have arisen from nothing - empty space. It's not a foreign concept in physics to have particles pop into existence from nothing. Hard to believe, but it's true.)
