Brandon Hale replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"We don't have inherent purpose or meaning in our lives; we must make it ourselves. If a child of a deeply religious family dies at the age of five, did he/she have meaning or purpose? If a baby dies of SIDS, did it have meaning or purpose? If…"

Tim replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"People don't like the responsibilities of their lives on their shoulders. If where your life goes is based on what you've done, if it's not what you want, then it's disheartening. So people need a god or gods to have that…"
Adrian Allen replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"His opening example of being lost begins with the presupposition that we have no original starting point.

Why does there HAVE to be meaning?"
Ed replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"I have not found an iota of validity in the arguments of theists. Their idea that our short lives on this rock are meaningless without a "sky friend" is amusing. As a previous poster stated: purpose and meaning in life is entirely…"
Reggie replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"And my point stands. The value of someone's purpose in life is completely subjective. It would be absurd to try and convince someone of this basic concept when that person is a true believer in a cosmic purpose. Living your life with purpose…"
Jean Meslier replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"I will take a crack at this. With the indulgence of the grammar Nazi.
I made note of his major points:
"whatever we fill our lives with is meaningless"
A yearning for meaning is what hooks a lot of people into religion. What great…"
Jeff Price replied to Jeff Price's discussion 'Adam Deen (Muslim speaker) argues that life is absurd without God.'"That's his point, even if we live without God it would be absurd.
