Oh sweet baby Jebus, he discovered emo. This explains so much.
This I believe is in itself shows the existance of an afterlife, because without it, life would not matter.
1) So? What makes you think life has to matter?
2) Why would a finite life devalue life? Wouldn't a limited span of time make the short life we get more valuable and important?

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
I don't think it's emo
Believe that hard enough, I'm sure it'll come true.
If life didn't matter, then why would we live? Or want to live?
Why not? I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying myself.
That is why life would ultimately be devalued, because I would know that it would end, and it would not matter.
You must hate lunchtime. No matter how delicious the meal in front of you is, you know your plate is going to be empty at some point. Oh, tasty food is so meaningless!

Re: yuck dawg
your cool...
I've often thought that.
That's good. You've used this one before, still have failed to realize that life does matter, and you don't care if it does or not, because life is good.
So life does matter, because life does matter. And since it does matter, there must be an afterlife. And since there's an afterlife, life matters.
Hang on. You spun in so many circles there, I got a little nauseous. Gotta sit down a minute.
Tell that to kids who starve dawg.
I need to photoshop up an image of an awards statuette for non-sequiturs, to be given out in situations like this. I can call them "The Syamsies" or something.
You asked why life is worth living if there's no objective meaning. I told you the answer for the only person for whom I am qualified to answer: me. If you wanna know why the starving kids keep on living, go ahead and ask them. Clearly they have some sort of reason.
Don't use the phrase "doubly so".... Yuck
1) It's Douglas Adams' line, not mine.
2) It's an awesome line.
3) Don't worry... the short pocket of time in which I used the phrase is now over. Therefore, it is meaningless. The fact that it caused me to chuckle, therefore causing me brief enjoyment, means nothing. The fact that it ended has removed all relevance.
