Christians must have an empty life...

We all have our empty moments, those days or hours when our best plans or efforts come to nothing; when we are constantly interrupted or simply struggle to finish our allotted tasks, and then end the day feeling totally unproductive, frustrated, regretful and empty - as if our whole day, all the energy and effort we spent on it, has been a complete waste.

Such moments are bearable when they pass quickly. But they can last too long, overwhelm us, even become a lifetime of boredom, shame and regret, creating in us an enduring sense of emptiness and a nagging doubt about the overall meaning of our life braindumps. This week again I met someone who was trapped in a false and artificial life for many years, discovering only now for the first time who she really is and what she ought to have done, but never did. What a shame, what a waste VCP-310 braindumps, what regret - these are the feelings that often plague her today.

Another person told me the sad story of her father, a highly talented and creative person who for different reasons never managed to fulfill his real potential SY0-201 braindumps. Returning from work in the late afternoon he would often go into a passive mode, have a drink and then retire to bed early. It was as if, in her words, at this specific hour, an empty space 220-601 braindumps, almost like a dark gaping hole, suddenly appeared in his life - one which he struggled to fill with meaningful activity and which often left him restless, frustrated and moody.

Here's how I feel about it. Life has no "meaning" other than to continue and BE life. The problem is that as humans we've got this wonderful cognitive ability to sort of "stare into the abyss" in a sense when it comes to looking for meaning in life. That is to say, the fact that we even have the ability to recognize a concept like "meaning" means that in general, we're going to go looking for that meaning. I always sort of chuckle when I hear someone say that atheists don't live meaningful lives, just because they don't believe in god. I chuckle because I honestly do not see how accepting the existence of god just because you're desperate for meaning is ANY better. Ok, so you've taken the entire big mystery of "life, the universe and everything" and you've decided to call it god and give it anthropomorphic, mental, conscious properties, but that doesn't make it a "better" explanation in any sense. It's just the god of the gaps...in fact I think the only reason the idea of a god ever even came into existence was because of these gaps. Can you really imagine an early, hunter-gatherer human 400,000 years ago having the time to even stop and try and figure out what the hell lightning or an erupting volcano or the moon or gravity actually WAS? No...our mental energies in that stage of humanity went completely and totally toward survival. Since there have been enough of us around to actually have the free time to sit around and try and ACTUALLY explain things, religion has been doing nothing but trying to reconcile and catch up with the rest of the world...and steal credit for morality and whatever else it can in the process.

The fact of the matter is, not everyone is satisfied with the admittedly easy answer that "god did it". Clearly if we all were, there'd be no atheists and no one would ever even bring it up.
