Meaningfulness v meaninglessness; theism vs atheism;

@ DvF

You can enjoy a great story besides the fact it's nothing but fantasy. It can add meaning to your life despite its unreality.

As with meaning itself, who cares if it is all an illusion and imaginary if it's harmless and we recognize it as such? It still exists in the sense that the story of Lord of the Rings exists.

Yeah but any good myth/story should hit on truths ( I mean that in the absolute sense) what makes them good is that they give a vehicle in which universal truths can be presented. In LOTRO we are told that there is a cosmic struggle between good and evil, that even the weakest of people can change the world for the better. That we are not alone in our stuggle even when we feel alone. There there is a God with a plan, who has given us what is necessary to over come evil. And that good will win in the end.

Why?? Because Your infantile belief system demands it dqualk??? Poor baby

@zen

Since morality changes over time and is different from place to place and society to society the ONLY place it will be found is in peoples heads.

Or does your god keep changing his mind about what is moral??

False, lets say someone believes that there is no gravity and that they floating everywhere, this would not disprove gravity. All you have done is shown that people have made mistakes with morality because it is a hard subject. And if you look hard enough you will see that morals are more similar than they appear at first glance. For example, people in India cremate, Christians bury, but the morals behind this is respect your dead. Also, some issues of morality are largely subjective.

Lets just say that you have no idea dqualk. 'Morality' is a word coined by ellitist snobs. morals are just a socio-survival mechanism that do not need a 'skydaddy with a big stick' to make them work...nothing more

Quite frankly I would rather believe in "Ceiling Cat" "The Invisible Pink Unicorn" or "The Flying Spaghetti Monster" as a guide to morality as I do NOT find much morality in the Catahotonic church...just hypocrisy and a desire to out Jew the Jewish faith.
