Open discussion of the Christian Why We're Here thread

Let's not confuse hope with enjoyment.  Sure you can enjoy life but that in itself isn't meaningful. You can build stuff but it will all fall to ruin eventually. You can hope our ancestors will carry on, but then they will die too, if not now, then eventually when the universe itself dies. If human existence is extinguished by death and all our legacies erased by time then there isn't anything to hope for beyond that boundary.

So you need the fantasy mental crutch to give your life meaning. Got it.

Personally I am OK with that. If there is no meaning in life except that which you give it then whatever makes them happy. It's when they impose their personal meaning onto others that annoys me.
