    I know there is no such thing as a god. It is evident.

    However, I get a motive for my life by trying to learn all I can about physics, and psychology. I am sadly lacking in my attempt to understand everything.

    Why do I have to have a purpose? Is it neccessary for a fullfilling life?

    I must agree on you about psychology, I love psychology. The human mind fascinates me but I don't think it gives me motivation for life.

    Maybe.. curiosity about how life would turn out and which path I'm going to take keeps me going? Maybe..;)

    The thing that keeps me going is that no matter how many times I go down... because in the past I have failed alot... But what keeps me going is that when I fall down...I stand up and say "Nah It ain't over". I'm the kind of person that just doesn't know how to quit...

    Serving the Lord and serving my family. All else is secondary for me.

    That's simply a way of saying that living out my Christian faith is my #1 priority and my family is right there in importance, too. All else is lower in priority.

    Life is meaningful by enjoying what you do, by having a community (of friends or family, or whatever), by having interests, (being eager to learn about new things, what's happening in the world, quantum mechanics etc). Life can be incredibly meaningful and rewarding without any religious belief. Good sex also makes life meaningful.

    Some things definitely have no logic scientists can explain so I can't agree there is no God. That would see ignorant.

    But to make life meaningful is firstly my faith and my family.

    What makes my life meaningful is to show as many people as possible the truth of what the Bible really teaches. The joy of being in the company of 7 million others from all over the world from all cultures, races, backgrounds and ages is sheer bliss all due to the love for one another. It's an unbeatable feeling to have a family that large all serving God unitedly and all trying to help others come to accurate knowledge of God and his Word.

    Hey?? You asked!! :D

    Col :)

    And everyone else not a part of that group through no fault of their own because of where they were born must suffer eternal damnation.

    God is good. Amen.
