So the meaning of life - for you - all stems from worshipping the supernatural being ["God"] that you believe is going to give you the "gift" of everlasting life and accept you into "Heaven", right?

The meaning of life is walking with God in the here and now, moving on to the
next life just takes us away this temporary life into the eternal one. The rewards are
not in the by and by, again those that only have that don't have anything.

Was it a yes or a no?

The "meaning of life" for you is worshipping your God?

That was real specific, oh yea, the dialogue, ah what things are you specifically
talking about?

No, its walking with Him, getting to know Him, worship is a pleasure.

The airplane crash here on Monday which claimed 189 lives, unlike many of the other crashes that have happened in this country during the years I have been associated with it, caused me some temporary pause for uncomfortable thought.

I'd missed a flight a few days earlier with the same airline, using the same type of plane, from the same airport out of which the fatelful plan ...[text shortened]... inished business, not mine.

Do we not, indeed, glimpse the meaning of life in our fear of death?

Excellent, insightful post.
I'm sorry for your grazing experiences with mortality: But, not for the wisdoms they've imparted.

The old Japanese saying, "Death is lighter than a feather" comes to mind when I think of this universal query.

The only self-indulgent thing that I might add: Death is as natural as a fallen leaf. And its promise of an atomic-level rebirth, consoles my longing for immortality.

You spammed him and me too. The dialogue made a very pertinent point. You spammed it. What is your more considered response? Engage it. Don't run away.

I think I have. Did you not read my OP and other posts?

Dont worry about it ...

No it's just you and your dreary "answer". Maybe somebody else will indulge you.

like I said "it amazes me"
