The meaning of life as seen by moi:
I really have no idea. I was led to believe when I was young, my mom and dad used to drag me off to church, like probably many of you. Because of this young age a lot of things where put into me. Such as that life is a test from God, to see if you are fit to go to heaven and hell. That is our purpose to multiply (as believers..or just reproduce...the Bible is never clear about that.). That one should be kind to each other. (again the test part.)
Later on in a young age (as soon as I got a library card.) I became interested in other religions, much Buddhism, Hindoeism etc etc. I've read a lot of books about them, I talked to believers of other religions. (On a funny note, If you can ask a firm Muslim if they also have Satan in hell. You get such funny answers.) Right now Im not sure about it. Christians, Muslims and Jews say that there is one God! To rule them all! Buddhism say that you get reincarnated, that you should also behave good because then you will go on another plateau in life. For instance you start out as an insect. Then you go to a small mammal or fish, next you get dog or bear or bird. then you become human, then you can become buddha or bodhisvatta and enter nirvana. If you do bad then you fall down the ladder again and reincarnate into something worse. For instance this may happen to murders and thieves.
Hindoeism is a lot like Buddhism, with the reincarnation and having to do good. Im now researching Japanese Shintoism, but that is a strange religion indeedie
.
So the meaning of life? Well according to most religions: Dont kill, Dont steal, Dont lie, Be kind to others and you will be rewarded when you die. To Science: We have not calculate it yet
.
But with the religions there is a catch, you must be true to the one faith to rule them all! For instance Christianity want you to believe in christ and god. Muslims want you to believe in Allah en Buddhism says you have to be true to the teachings of buddha. If you dont you might as well not try. Parradoxal isnt it?
But as they say, all paths up the mountain lead to the same summit. We all see the same moon when we get there...
*fujin that would be to you, sir*
