Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[Esquilax]

Answer the question. You can clarify your vision in your answer.

I live my life as a life; whether determinism is a reality or not doesn't actually matter. Even if it's true I'm still experiencing the world in first person from a perspective that allows me to experience things. I know you prefer to think of our world as some grey, washed out place without god, I know that makes you feel superior to us, but I gotta say, it feels no different from your world. The only difference is that I don't need to pretend that there's some externally derived meaning to it all to enjoy myself.

And don't forget to state your highest hope. That shouldn't be to hard for someone who thinks atheistic worldviews allow for meaning and purpose.

Wow, you stated that as though you expected that I'd falter and realize that I don't actually have hopes, but that's ridiculous. On a personal level, my highest hope is that I settle down, raise a family with Luckie, find a way to make a living writing novels, and leave the world a better place than I entered it.

I don't think that's an unworthy hope to have at all.
