What if there was no meaning to life? What if all this time that humanity has been trying to put a meaning to life was in vain? Why does there have to be a point, a purpose? Is that all it takes to make us happy? Is it really so depressing that there is no point, that we all just walk around for a few years and then we don't? So what if all of life is a coincidence. We're here. Why do we always have to strive for a better pay check so that we can have things that other people have decided are necessities? What's wrong with living off of what you do and you do alone? I can't wait to just disappear for a year or two and have minimal contact with the outside world. Is it really so earth shaking to think that there is no god? I think there is something, but maybe that's just my human nature, to think that everything that's happened can't simply be a coincidence. It's really comforting to think that this isn't it, that there is someone higher than you that actually has control over your life. We live our whole lives under the control of another person, so those people must have something controlling them. In all actuality, we are in the same compost heap with the rest of the world, but no, we control the planet. The only reason we think we're so special is because we can make frivolous crap. Computers, clothing, weapons...big whoop. If you live your whole life fearing death, you haven't lived. Accept that you are going to die. In all probability, you're going to die tomorrow. No matter how many times you hear "live for today," you rarely follow it. You're still in college trying to get a better job with better pay. You're still at work to make money for tomorrow. You make plans for next week. It's so liberating to just pack your bags and leave for no real reason with no destination in mind. Just pick up and go.
If I stop believing in you, will you stop believing in me?

Yeah, that reminds me of a book I was reading last night. It was called "The God Delusion". The portion I read was equating the endoctrination of the church to child abuse, and claiming that the reprocussions of sexual abuse by ministers is not nearly so bad as the abuse done to children by scaring to into believing in hell. Interesting read. If I happen to pick it up (quite likely) I will MAKE you borrow it.
