If God is a concept invented by man then nothing really matters.
[edit; my point is that "meaning" exists independently of God, not "because" of God.]
Originally posted by checkbaiterActually, I think you'll find the meaning of life has nothing to do with you at all.
You may be on to something here. We have all evolved from some slime. Our lives are purely accidental and have no meaning except to eat, drink and be merry.😀
You are only a vessel for your DNA and your DNA only wants to survive.
That's it. All the rest is just a pleasurable side-effect.

Originally posted by checkbaiterActually , there is a book entitled "Thinkanomics" that made an exhaustive study of crime and statistics and determined that the lessening of crime in the US in the 90's was due to abortion.
It is odd(but not to me) that since God was "kicked out" of the schools and public in general, teen pregnancy is up, as well as crime and immorality. I read this a few times. Have to see if I can find the stats and the source.

Whilst we're at it, let's bring back public beheadings.
